C.S. Lewis on materialistic thoughts

Is there a difference between accident and random? Anyway, why couldn't it be pure chance that we were put in a position to do our best to avoid accidents. It does not mean more accidents won't happen. Just throwing out an example, I'm driving to work, I see car A stop at an intersection for apparently no reason. There's no stop sign/crosswalk etc... Car B, which was in an adjacent lane but a few yards behind car A, kept on going, not thinking about why car A was stopped - or not really having time to do much about it if he was. A kid emerges running from car A into the path of car B. Sadly, an accident happens. Turns out car B just had no clue, he was a new driver and had never encountered a situation like that before. In fact, perhaps I'm a new driver myself and I had never seen that happen before. Ten years later, I find myself in a similar situation to the driver of car B. I furiously apply the brakes. A kid emerges from car A, runs in front of me and crosses the street safely. An accident 10 years earlier allows him to carry on with his life and have more thoughts...perhaps his close call will be one of them...
