"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
- see your self as too progressive for that old stuff .
- think realism is the go and Dickens exaggeration is not helpful
- avoid the dark side --- even if you don't admit it
- 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
