Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Si a uno se le permite condenar las acciones del enemigo y castigarlo, ¿qué diferencia hay entre la moral cristiana y el punto de vista corriente? Toda la diferencia del mundo. Recordad que los cristianos pensamos que el hombre vive para siempre. Por lo tanto, lo que realmente importa son esas pequeñas marcas o señales en la parte interior o central del alma que van a convertirla, a la larga, en una criatura celestial o una criatura demoníaca. En otras palabras, algo dentro de nosotros, el resentimiento, la sensación de venganza, deben sencillamente ser aniquilado. Mientras castigamos debemos tratar de sentir por el enemigo lo que sentimos por nosotros mismos: desear que no fuese tan malo, esperar que pueda, en este mundo o en el otro, ser curado; de hecho, desearle el bien. A eso es a lo que se refiere la Biblia cuando dice que debemos amar a nuestros enemigos: deseándoles el bien, y no teniéndoles afecto o diciendo que son buenos cuando no lo son.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
