one or the other of these destinations

“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship or else a horror and a corruption such as you now met, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations” (C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, pp. 14-15).
