“If individuals live only seventy years, then a state, or a nation, or a civilisation, which may last for a thousand years, is more important than an individual. But if Christianity is true, then the individual is not only more important but incomparably more important, for he is everlasting and the life of a state or a civilisation, compared with his, is only a moment.”C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
I've been pondering on this quote for the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure it means what I think it means.
