It is natural for us to
wish that God had designed for us a less glorious and less
arduous destiny: but then we are wishing not for more love but
for less: When we want to be other than the thing God wants us
to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us
happy. These Divine demands which sound to our natural ears
most like those of a despot and least like those of a lover,
in fact marshal us where we should want to go if we knew what
we wanted.
-- C. S.
Lewis, The Problem of
Pain
