Quote context

[...]

- And suddenly, there's white light. Crisp, cold air. Trees. Snow. Total contrast, you see. It's the gateway to a magical world.

- What time is it? Good Lord, my train. Anyway. Well... See you all tomorrow. Bye.

- Bye. Cheerio, Jack.

- See you then.

- Goodbye, Mr. Lewis.

- Yesterday, I received a letter that referred to an event that took place almost a year ago now. December 4, 1951.

- My correspondent hadn't forgotten. I doubt if any of us have.

- That was the night a Number One bus drove into a column of young Royal Marine cadets in Chatham and killed 24 of them. You remember?

- And the letter asks some simple but fundamental questions.

- Where was God on that December night? Why didn't he stop it?

- Isn't God supposed to be good? Isn't he supposed to love us?

- And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.

- I suggest to you that it is because God loves us that he makes us the gift of suffering. To put it another way, pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.
Well, just because something hurts, it doesn't make it more true or more significant. -No, I guess not.
Why? See, if you love someone, you don't want them to suffer. You can't bear it. You want to take their suffering onto yourself. Even I feel like that. Why doesn't God?
The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
