The Small
and Gradual Sins C.S. Lewis
|
|
You
will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young
tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness
. . . It does not matter how small the sins are, provided that their
cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into
the Nothing . . . Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the
gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones,
without signposts. (C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, pp. 64-65) |
