There's the common idea that perfection is boring. But I think Lewis realized that people who are holy are not perfect; they are complete. And whole people are the most interesting people I know. I know a lot of people who are only half a person, and they are always searching for something to fill up that void. Holy people are whole because they have Christ filling up their voids, and consequently they are much more fun to be around.
