In a community coursed through by energies every road leads to a worthwhile goal, provided one doesn't hesitate or reflect too long. Targets are short-term, but since life is short too, results are maximized, which is all people need to be happy, because the soul is formed by what you accomplish, whereas what you desire without achieving it merely warps the soul.

In reality it is far less prejudicial to witness the immorality of the great than to witness that immorality which leads to greatness. Alexis de Tocqueville
In a WWII radio talk, Lewis champions the well-established idea that actions lead emotions. Although he is making the point with respect to love, he illustrates with the opposite. The Germans hated the Jews, then acted on that. Because they did, their loathing was intensified by their own actions. C. S. Lewis
In working with the wounded at Gallipoli, the lead character comments, “Perhaps life was the nightmare and death the awakening. Anne Perry
Lead us not into temptation' often means, among other things, 'Deny me those gratifying invitations, those highly interesting contacts, that participation in the brilliant movements of our age, which I so often, at such risk, desire.'Reflections on the Psalms, ch 7 C. S. Lewis
