Dickens divine stuff

See you have forgotten already!!
"The circumlocution office "   ( seeBBC DVD series of Little Dorrit)

in 2019 we are again overwhelmed by the petty pedants . Somehow the West has lost its freedom .
And we don't know why




Chesterton tells us why in his biography of Dickens
." when you break the great laws, you don't get liberty :you do not even get anarchy .you get the small laws."


Maybe your crowd is just too  high brow for us? 
Maybe YOU
  1. see your self as too progressive for that old stuff . 
  2. think realism is the go and Dickens exaggeration is not helpful
  3.  avoid the dark side ---  even if you don't admit it 
  4. haven't resolved to recognize your own intellectual limitations .

    Much of this is covered in Dickens in a storytelling way .
    As GK Chesterton
    reminds us for our now repeat performance from the petty pedants and working dog in the series UTOPIA  - there is disease out there and its not just mind --it involves mind body and soul
