Summary

This quote suggests that when we are idle or daydreaming, hidden truths and insights that are usually hidden or suppressed can surface. It implies that when our minds are not occupied with the busyness of life, our subconscious can emerge and reveal deeper meanings or revelations. In these moments of inactivity or imagination, we may have the opportunity to truly understand ourselves or uncover important truths about the world around us.

In peace we can make many of them ignore good and evil entirely; in danger, the issue is forced upon them in a guise to which even we cannot blind them. There is here a cruel dilemma before us. If we promoted justice and charity among men, we should be playing directly into the Enemy's hands; but if we guide them to the opposite behaviour, this sooner or later produces (for He permits it to produce) a war or a revolution, and the undisguisable issue of cowardice or courage awakes thousands of men from moral stupor.This, indeed, is probably one of the Enemy's motives for creating a dangerous world-a world in which moral issues really come to the point. He sees as well as you do that courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yieldsto danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful till it became risky.(the enemy referred to is God)
