What the hell did you just say? 
Anyway, I want to know what means to be blessed, since I see this blessing being tossed around in this forum very often. What does it mean? Is it just wishing good luck?

Hard to put into words but the will of the divine in it's truest form manifested into a vibration of sound.

A bullet is also a blessing if you trace it back to the hand clap that bursts all of this into being.
Certain scenes in the great blessing do look a bit messy though.
Gotta retract that microscope lens for a better picture.

IMO it is a mentally imposed term that serves a psychological function:
1) To protect against the negative aspects of the world. E.g., "Oh, that negative event has turned out to be a real blessing because I have grown so much from it"
2) To maintain a sense of the influence of a greater power. E.g., "I am so blessed to have a good home and plenty of food" or "I am blessed to have survived cancer"
And IMO it is pretty impossible to claim that the use of the term "blessing" is much more than mental labeling of any given event that goes towards psychologically changing a negative into a positive or towards maintaining a sense of a greater power. And that even without the term "blessing" the event objectively remains the same.
Terming an event a blessing seems adaptive for the psyche though and can get people through some real tough times. Others will rile against it's inherent absence of objective grounding, but if it helps someone to cope, why not? There are other coping mechanisms out there for sure, but I see nothing to indicate one is any better than another. We all have to find a way to make negatives positive or suffer being overwhelmed by the suffering of the world. It's difficult to deal with the knowledge that children in Africa are dying of starvation in droves, while we ourselves have a hundred pointless luxuries, and so rather than accept that we have any hand in this, we want to put it onto a higher power.
