A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is… A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.
C S Lewis
Great quote. And I totally agree about C.S. Lewis. He did have an ingenious way of putting things that made living any other way than fully for God just seem absurd.
Thought-provoking quote with much truth.
Amen! Thanks Ellen, lovely to see you here! 🙂
Ingenious perspective.
Yeah, you can always rely on C S Lewis to drive it home! 🙂
