Interesting Thoughts #002 | A House Divided

President Abraham Lincoln said that "A house divided against itself cannot stand."[1]

Mathematically, however, a house divided against itself can stand. Any number divided by itself is equal to 1 (ex. 39 / 39 = 1). Therefore, house / house = 1

One could argue that, if anything, it causes unity.

I can see the comments now...

"But Zac, he didn't mean it mathematically"

"That's not what he meant"

"He meant it metaphorically"

I don't care.

I never said he did mean it mathematically. I'm just saying that mathematically, it would work.
