In both the literal and metaphorical senses, we can most certainly prove that lightning does strike twice.
Let's first take a look at the literal sense: Lightning is drawn between the ground and sky, or ground and magnetic field, by charges in the atmosphere and all the way up to the magnetic field of the earth. These form in certain areas more than others because of good conditions. The same can be said of the clouds which bring lightning, they will form very often in some areas, and never in others.
But now for the metaphorical sense. The thing I'm referring to most here is luck, or lack there of. We all have those days where all seems as it should and you find money every 10 minutes, and we all have those days, where it would only seem like an appropriate end if the sky actually fell.
And while some people can safely say they have won the lotto twice and, knowing their luck, just might win it again, others have had lives harder than many a normal person could imagine.
But in the end, no matter who you are, there will be bad days, but there will also be good days. Even in the darkest nights, it's possible to find a beacon of hope, even through the most bitter strife, we manage to cope.
So enjoy the good days as they come, and use your luck, and when it's just one of those days where all goes wrong, remember that soon enough, your lightning of luck will strike again.
