“The last written work that C. S. Lewis delivered before his death in 1963 was an opinion piece for the Saturday Evening Post called ‘We Have No Right to Happiness.’ This brief essay lays out the problem of separating ‘happiness’ from obedience to the eternal law, and it shows tremendous foresight in how the right to ‘sexual happiness’ would inevitably alter our view of happiness in general until the very heart of civilization would be threatened.
