There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to god, "thy will be done," and those to whom god says, in the end, "thy will be done." all that are in hell, choose it. without that self-choice there could be no hell. no soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. those who seek find. those who knock it is opened.

There Are Only Two Kinds Of People

C. S. Lewis

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to god, "thy will be done," and those to whom god says, in the end, "thy will be done." all that are in hell, choose it. without that self-choice there could be no hell. no soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. those who seek find. those who knock it is opened.

More From C. S. Lewis

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. those who seek find. to those who knock it is opened.

Joy is what makes life worth living, but for many joy seems hard to find. they complain that their lives are sorrowful and depressing. what then brings the joy we so much desire? are some people just lucky, while others have run out of luck? strange as it may sound, we can choose joy. two people can be part of the same event, but one may choose to live it quite differently than the other. one may choose to trust that what happened, painful as it may be, holds a promise. the other may choose despair and be destroyed by it. what makes us human is precisely this freedom of choice.

Here it comes," she said with an expression of pure bliss. "drug rush ... any moment now ... the surge of warmth ... bye-bye, mr. pain..." "vee-" "knock, knock." "this is really important-" "knock, knock." "it's about elliot-" "knock, knoooock," she said in a singsong voice. i sighed. "who's there?" "boo." "boo who?" "boo-hoo, somebody's crying, and it's not me!" she broke into hysterical laughter.

All good things require effort. that which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (matt. 7:7.) but you have to seek, you have to knock. on the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. it walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. you do not have to put forth effort. … evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. but truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. some people are better at hiding it than others.

An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.

It takes strong ears indeed to hear ourselves judged frankly, and because there are few who can endure criticism without being stung by it, those who venture to criticize us perform a remarkable act of friendship. for it is a healthy love that will risk wounding or offending in order to profer a benefit.
