"الله يهمس إلينا في ملذاتنا يتحدث في ضمائرنا لكنه يصرخ في آلامنا إنه مكبر صوته لإيقاظ عالم أصم"
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
When things are going well and we are happy, we might not notice the small ways life teaches us lessons, almost like a quiet hint. When we think about right and wrong, we can sense a clear inner voice telling us what to do. However, when we are in pain or facing big problems, the lessons become very loud and clear, almost like someone shouting in a way we can't ignore. Think about someone who gets sick after not taking care of their health. The sickness makes them realize how important it is to take care of themselves. In the same way, difficult times in life can wake us up and make us pay attention to important lessons we might have missed otherwise. Using our hard experiences can help us understand and grow better as people.
