I just had to share this quote fro...Yes, how true!<br /><br />I just had to share this quote from C.S. Lewis (Weight of Glory). It's long, but so perfectly pertinent to what you have so wisely recognized about people:<br /><br />"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which,if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-79064186182790302582016-01-07T09:22:26.807-08:002016-01-07T09:22:26.807-08:00I completely agree Nikki, there are no ordinary pe...I completely agree Nikki, there are no ordinary people.. some of us share our stories out loud while others are more private... we all have to deal with ups and downs... which makes us extraordinary xox Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-52609589703477642182016-01-07T09:02:53.886-08:002016-01-07T09:02:53.886-08:00How true this is.
