“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” --C. S. Lewis Respond to this quote in the form a paragraph explaining what you think the author means, how this impacts your life, and how remembering these words can help you in your life.

Explanation:

If things are going really poorly, the meaning is obvious. What we are going towards has to be better than what we leave behind. Unwritten in this sentence is Lewis's belief that with faith, what lies head has to be better than where we are now. That seems strange, but people with faith believe it to be true, because a loving God will provide such a thing to happen for us.  Since I know nothing of your life, I can only made comment on the last part. Lewis was devoutly religious. He believed that even if there are trials and there will be, that people will come out of those trials stronger and more prepared for whatever comes next.

Each trial is a classroom that makes us able to face even the worst news. But faith makes us stronger and more willing to accept adverse conditions.

C.S. Lewis simply meant life shouldn't be about looking at the things or stuffs behind you but waiting patiently for the better stuffs awaiting you in life's path things that will make you feel blessed and at peace though that is not the end.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
