Great Quote!

A good friend sent me this quotation: “When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping. You can see mistakes in arithmetic when your mind is working properly: while you are making them you cannot see them. You can understand the nature of drunken-ness when you are sober, not when you are drunk. Good people know about both good and evil; bad people do not know about either.” C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
