Our son got me a CS Lewis book for my birthday that compiles many of his classics, and the book has renewed my interest in reading more CS stuff. In the "Weight of Glory" quote below, I love Lewis' ability to illustrate his point by "the only well" comment.
"If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God, it will make - in the end - no difference what you have chosen instead. Those are hard words to take. Will it really make a difference whether it was women or patriotism, cocaine or art, whiskey or a seat in the cabinet, money or science? Well, surely no difference that matters. We shall have missed the end for which we are formed and we have rejected the only thing that satisfies.
Does it matter to a man dying in a desert by which choice
of route he missed the only well?"
