01652 – Who is More Important? Groups or Individuals?
Lewis, C. S.

To the Materialist things like nations, classes, civilizations must be more important than individuals, because the individuals live only seventy odd years each and the group may last for centuries.

But to the Christian, individuals are more important, for they live eternally; and races, civilizations and the like, are in comparison the creatures of a day.

from God in the Dock

centuries | civilization(s) | class(es) | comparison(s) | creature(s) | day(s) | eternal(ly) | group(s) | important | individual(s) | live(s) | material(ism) | nation(s) | race(s)
