Difference between freedom, independence and liberty

Freedom- When we feel free to exercise our choices without restraint we are said to be enjoying our freedom. Free + dom ( a certain condition). (From from some external Agency) Independence- Ability to do a job on your own without supervision, guidance of someone whom we do see as or chose as beholder of our guiding principles. (Without constraint) Liberty- Ability to exercise our rights or choice as suggested by the governance/constitution. (Free to do something) A bird was caged by a girl. A child came and opened the gates of the cage. The bird came out of the cage Bird got freedom for captivity of the girl. She is now independent. She has liberty to fly away or to stay there.

What differs luck, fate, fortune and destiny?

Luck: Luck refers to something happening at a given point of time out of sheer chance/surprise. An unexpected and unusual (having lesser probability) outcome of an event. Example: Lucky. If you win a lottery. If the catch is dropped by a player who usually does not drop any. Fortunate: Fortunate word is usually used for a situation in which a sequence of events has happened so fast enough that could not be recorded and  whose effect is going to last for a while. Used when some unfavorable outcome has been avoided for whatsoever reasons. Avoid bad luck. Example: If you survive an accident. Fate: Negative connotation. When something grossly wrong happens out of control of human intervention. Destiny: Grand design in which the events unfolds in a way to take take you to your destination without your awareness. Now food for thought: what would you say to your parter: Am I lucky to have you as my partner? Or Am I fortunate to have you as my partner?
