Summary

want to create something, we have to tap into our own creativity and imagination. This creativity comes from the depth of our being, like water in a well. Just like a well-stocked fish pond, which is full of life, our inner well should be full of different ideas, experiences, and inspiration. By continually nurturing and replenishing our inner well, we ensure that we always have something to draw from when we embark on any creative endeavor. The quote emphasizes the importance of developing and enriching our inner selves in order to produce meaningful and original creations.

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so crue

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such a violent reaction against it?... Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was nothing but a private idea of my own. But if i did that, then my argument against God collapsed too--for the argument depended on saying the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen to please my fancies. Thus, in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist - in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless - I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality - namely my idea of justice - was full of sense. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never have known it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.' ~C.S. Lewis
