DRAWS OUT OUR HUNGERSlide3
C.S.
Lewis
It
would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum
because
he cannot imagine what
is
meant by the offer of a holiday
at
the sea. We are far too easily pleased
