April 29, 2021 | Muggeridge On Suffering

The great teacher
Britain’s Malcolm Muggeridge was a successful, wise, and funny man. Late in his life, Mr. Muggeridge appeared on TV with William F. Buckley, Jr. and the two men discussed God’s specific penchant for working good through bad. Look at what Malcolm said:

As an old man, Bill, looking back on one’s life, it’s one of the things that strikes you most forcibly – that the only thing that’s taught one anything is suffering. Not success, not happiness, not anything like that. The only thing that really teaches one what life’s about – the joy of understanding, the joy of coming in contact with what life really signifies – is suffering, affliction.
– Malcolm Muggeridge to William F. Buckley, Jr. March 9, 1975
