"And then everyone says to himself, I'm blessed if I know why I'm carrying this load, and I'm not going to carry it any farther: that's that. And down we all throw our sacks and bundles and tools." —the silver chair ⚔️

Yet another passage in the silver chair by C.S. Lewis that made me stop and think when I was reading it.

Another thought I had, was of how sinners carry a burden (their sin) around with them, and until they feel and understand the weight of that burden and want it released, the story of Jesus is the sweetest thing to their ears.

And also that sentence there, "I'm blessed if I know why I'm carrying this load, and I'm not going to carry it any farther," has truth in it too. Those who come to Christ knowing they're a sinner are truly blessed because then after comes forgiveness of sins and everlasting life. We are all blessed to realize the weight of our sin because therein lies salvation.
