More From C. S. Lewis

Let us thank god for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. let us give thanks to him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.
