---------------------------------
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and
most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be
strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare.
All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of
these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct
all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You
have never met a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as
the life of a gnat. But it s with immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry , snub, and exploit - i
mmortal horrors or everlasting splendors."
- C S Lewis
