"It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one."

C. S. Lewis
Taken From http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/c/cslewis115362.html

This is a quote that I found while looking at brainyquote.com it just stuck out to me as something that most people might look over because it is just saying that it is easy to ask for something then go out and do it. I think it is more than that, I think that to fully understand what is going on in this short simple quote you have to have actually wanted something and asked for it and then when it never came you went out and got it. This way you actually know how hard it was to get it and can understand what it means. But on the other hand you could look at it like C. S. Lewis is saying that people are lazy and won’t go out and try to do things for themselves just wait and pray for some force to bring it to them. I see this simple quote being more than what it seems as most of C. S. Lewis's material usually is.

"It's so much easier to sit and watch than to go out and actually become part of life."
