CQOD: 09/05/06 -- Lewis: the badness of sadness

Christian Quotation of the Day

September 5, 2006Meditation:
    Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
    -- Ecclesiastes 11:10 (ESV)

---

Quotation:
    My own idea, for what it is worth, is that all sadness which is not now either arising from the repentance of a concrete sin and hastening towards concrete amendment or restitution, or else arising from pity and hastening towards active assistance, is simply bad.
    ... C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, guard me from temptations to melancholy.
