I was reading The Problem

I was reading The Problem of Pain today and I was surprised to see C.S. Lewis write “He makes, we are made: He is original, we derivative.” He writes it and it is so. He doesn’t wring his hands about the matter any further. I suppose his satisfaction with his statement comes from his Christian faith in God and the master plan God has for him. I wonder if all religion is about some sort of subjugation to a maker.
