The Law of Non-Contradiction
Here was a little education for our kids: two contradicting statements cannot be true at the same time. For about the fourth time since we've moved here, an accident occurred on our street corner. The green car and the black car attempted to share the same space at the same time. And the law of non-contradiction said that was impossible. Many like to believe that it is possible for you to create your own reality and believe two things that contradict each other. I don't think either driver actually believed this here; one driver just didn't stop. In the words of Ravi Zacharias, "Even in India, we must look both ways before crossing the street."
I should mention that they learned another lesson though, in observing the gentle care shown these young women, how EMTs work, and how to keep a clear head in the midst of panic.
Updated note: both drivers, ages 19 and 16, only suffered only bumps and bruises. One, however, incurred a financial migraine.
