So I recently discovered that I don't read alot of what I own. Which is a very sad thing. Since I own some pretty good books. I go to my book shelf every time I need something to read and always find something new. I realize that my hoarding of books and my incentous need to read go hand and hand to my bookcase of wonder.
I picked up a book by Clive Staples Lewis.
The Problem of Pain-
"The creatures cause pain by being born, and live inflicting pain, and in pain they mostly die. In the most complex of all the creatures, Man, yet another quality appears, which we call reason, whereby he is enabled to forsee his own pain which henceforth is preceded with acute mental suffereing, and to foresee his own death while keenly desiring permanence."
