We are Far Too Easily Pleased



“It would seem that Our Lord

finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.

We are half-hearted creatures,

fooling about ...

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.”


C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
