Quotes for Reflection

CS Lewis, The Problem of Pain
We have so concentrated on one of the virtues — "kindness" or mercy— that most of us do not feel that anything except kindness to be really good or anything but cruelty to be really bad.....The real trouble is that "kindness" is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment… If, being cowardly, conceited and slothful, you have never done a fellow creature great mischief, that is only because your neighbor's welfare has not happened to conflict with your safety, self-approval, or ease.
