Given the choice between reading and listening to C.S. Lewis, I'd take reading any day. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think he's such a great speaker. He has such powerful words, but the way he delivers them just doesn't quite do it.
To love is to risk suffering. What more needs to be said? Lewis is so right on with this statement that I can find nothing to disagree with. People everywhere suffer from broken hearts. This is not a disease, it is life. Life is only worth living when we are able to risk loving others. If we don't love anyone and choose to tightly wrap our love inside us to keep it safe, we avoid getting hurt by others, but end up hurting ourselves. Life is about Love, and Love is about risking it all.
