(Trigger Warning: suicide mention)
I am currently in the process of reading C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity for a summer assignment. As I was reading Chapter 10 of Book 3, one quote slapped me across the face:
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
I hadn't realized that this quote was from Mere Christianity, but knew only that C.S. Lewis had once written it. I was familiar with it because it was on the program at a funeral for a student I knew who committed suicide at the age of 15.
How relevant this quote is in my life at the moment; it is a beautiful and very heartfelt reminder of this thing we call personhood.
