Winning the lottery, some would have you believe it's about being lucky, but the trouble with luck is some have it and some don't. So, you have to be lucky to have luck. So how do you know if you're lucky if you're not lucky enough to know it? So forget about luck. Winning is mental sharpness.
You can not analyze love, it is the greatest mystery of all. No one knows why it happens...or does not. Love is a chance combination of elements. Any one thing might be enough to keep it from igniting...a mood, a glance, a remark. And if we could define love, predict it, it would probably lose it's power.
Unconventional Thinking From The X-Files Movie
When a terrorist bomb threat is called in, the rational purpose of providing that information is to allow us to find the bomb. The rational object of terrorism is to promote terror. If you study the statistics, you would find a model behaviour pattern for virtually every case where a threat has turned up an explosive device. And if we do not act in accordance with that data, if you ignore it as we have done, the chances are great that if there actually is a bomb, we may not find it. Lives could be lost.

What ever happened to plan a hunch, the element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability. We fail to anticipate the unforeseen, or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities. We may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that can not be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.
