The Onion’s take: https://www.theonion.com/unambitious-loser-with-happy-fulfil...
I don't know the context of the quote and I know next to nothing about CS Lewis, but having blown my life up at one point and experienced freedom on a level few on this planet could achieve (health, money, time, and will) the quote rang very true for me.
I think some people grow up in a community and are rooted within that community, but those people are also subject to that community and there is no guarantee that that "community that surrounds you with love" is a good community.
"Always be surrounded by love..." unless you are gay. Gay, trans, atheist, feminist, brown, an opioid addict, a questioner of authority, or otherwise different.
Or a middle-aged white man. https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics/
It floors me that you aren't flagged.
Not because you mentioned middle aged white men (which I am), but because I am talking about reasons people get kicked out of the usually conservative communities they grow up in. Being a middle aged white man is not one of those reasons.
Middle aged white men can choose their community. Being an atheist I was kicked out of mine.
There's a difference between not choosing a community and not being welcome in it.
Your response reeks of "white lives matter" to me.
https://www.google.com/search?q=gay+pride - that looks like there is no community for feminists, gay and trans?
You mentioning you being an atheist is just a cherry on top.
