life, death and suffering so delicately and vividly, and at the same time make the audience empathize and think about their own lives. The old movie moved me very much. Seeing their very daily conversations, my tears flowed calmly. Flow.. When Joy died, Lewis, who had always been known for his rationality, felt very helpless. Such a famous professor could die during public speeches and talk about hardships, but when facing his beloved It is still difficult to face the pain of death and the rest of life. However, happiness and pain are often packaged together and intertwined in life. The happiness of the present may be the pain of the future, and the misfortune of the moment may be the happiness of the future. If If I didn't fall in love with Joy, maybe I didn't have to face the pain of losing her, but I wouldn't have a short year of happiness and love. Lewsi once asked "what is the suffering for? is it just for suffering/suffering" For what, is it just for the pain itself? I believe that in his previous lectures, he must have answered similar confusions of others, but this is the first time we truly face our own pain, we still need people around us to remind us that suffering is not just for suffering, suffering now is happiness then, happiness now is suffering then. It's the deal.
Before loving Joy, Lewis would say "we read to know we are not alone" when chatting with students; after loving and losing Joy, Lewis said to students " I bet someone would say "we love to know we are not alone""
In the past, Lewis lived with reason, and now Lewis, in addition to reason, has courageous love. The relation of intellect to real experience is like the relation of shadow to the real world. By understanding the shape of the shadow, we can understand what the real is; but only by experiencing the real can we fully understand what the real is. ""We now seem to be looking in a mirror, blurry, and then we will be face to face. I know so little now, but then I will know it all, as the Lord knows me. ""
"Ashes return to ashes, and earth returns to earth, so that the deceased may be at peace, and the living may be liberated. (Genesis 3.19)"
I still remember Lewis saying in "Returning to the Basics" that the most important thing for people to get along with is Do as you would be done by others.
