Evil & the Art of Life

October 19th, 2011 by John B.

A number of IMPACT 360 alumni and other former students came to mind when I read this snippet from C.S. Lewis today:  “But I have received no assurance that anything we can do will eradicate suffering.  I think the best results are obtained by people who work quietly away at limited objectives, such as the abolition of the slave trade, or prison reform, or factory acts, or tuberculosis, not by those who think they can achieve universal justice, or health, or peace.  I think the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.”

-from “Why I am not a Pacifist” (The Weight of Glory)
