We can pray that one day his eyes will be graciously opened, and that that day come before Mr. Maher shuffles off the old mortal coil.
I am reminded often, and by this story, of the dwarves in Lewis's The Last Battle and their refusal to see that they are surrounded by bliss.
“I am reminded often, and by this story, of the dwarves in Lewis’s The Last Battle and their refusal to see that they are surrounded by bliss.”
Lewis’s writings are brilliant and he captures human nature very well in developing his characters. Your sharing of this quote is interesting as I have been thinking of Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia often of late, particularly the character of Edmund, who was so easily made a pawn of evil because of his desire to have something material that appealed to his appetite (Turkish Delight).
It is often so very simple that people fail to see what motivates them.
