When I wish someone "good luck," it's not a compliment. It's not a wish of bad intentions either, but it's a way of indicating that I think luck is the most important thing they have going for them. This isn't because luck IS the most important thing. It's because I think the person to whom I say this doesn't use his free will (i.e. his mind) very well--and luck or chance are all that he has left.
