Humans aren’t easily amused, we are too easily pleased

From CS Lewis’ classic sermon, “The Weight of Glory”,

Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased

Preach on Brother Clive…
