The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own,' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life -- the life God is sending one day by day.
C.S. Lewis emphasizes the significance of daily experiences, particularly the challenging and unpleasant ones. He argues that these moments should not be seen as disruptions to our 'real' life, but rather as an integral part of our existence that shapes our journey and character. When we view difficulties as mere interruptions, we miss the opportunity to see them as essential aspects of the life we are meant to live.
According to Lewis, embracing these so-called interruptions allows us to understand that they contribute to our personal growth. Every day presents us with unique challenges that, while difficult, serve a greater purpose in God's plan for us. By recognizing that these experiences are part of our true life, we cultivate resilience and gain a deeper appreciation for our daily journey.
