The Suffering of the Innocent

"The suffering of the innocent is less of a problem to me very often than that of the wicked. it sounds absurd: but I've met so many innocent sufferers who seem to be gladly offering their pain to Christ as part of the Atonement, so patient, so meek, even so at peace, and so unselfish that we can hardly doubt they are being, as St. Paul says, 'made perfect by suffering.' On the other hand, I meet selfish egoists in whom suffering seems to produce only resentment, hate, blasphemy, and more egoism. They are the real problem." -C.S. Lewis
