CS Lewis On How Humans Can Cope With Our Ever-Expanding Awareness

It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know).

A great many people (not you) do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birds song and the frosty sunrise.

CS Lewis, From the collection Yours, Jack

      Sure, CK! The book was “Yours, Jack,” a collection of CS Lewis’s letters. I LOVE this book and refer to it all the time! Here’s my affiliate link in case you want to pick it up for Christmas: http://amzn.to/21PY6BX

Hi friend!

I’m Sarah, wife to JHubbs, momma to Bdubbs (not the chicken wing restaurant).

In the past five years, I’ve built a business, had a baby, and embraced whole foods living. (I’ll let you decide which was harder.)

We eat way too much Kerrygold’s and spend most of our energy trying to figure out what’s for dinner. The days pass too fast.

I try to update on Monday and Wednesday each week.
