“When you look at what C.S. Lewis is saying, his message is so anti-life, so cruel, so unjust. The view that the Narnia books have for the material world is one of almost undisguised contempt. At one point, the old professor says, ‘It’s all in Plato’ — meaning that the physical world we see around us is the crude, shabby, imperfect, second-rate copy of something much better. I want to emphasize the simple physical truth of things, the absolute primacy of the material life, rather than the spiritual or the afterlife. [The New York Times interview, 2000]”

“People are afraid of death. Death is the greatest experience of being human. It is the biggest illusion that one believes in. How can you die in a society that is already rotten, where people do not live, but tell each other how to live? Gossip spreads faster than that disease you're so afraid of. To die, you must first have lived—not survived, nor been lived by others. Are you still afraid now?" Quote of 2014 ➡️Its now year 2025. Society isn't more healthier... just smell the cities. Look at the pokerfaces. and Listen to the words within "gossip " stories.”
