The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
-- G. K. Chesterton (Orthodoxy) -
@limebar right on, thanks for sharing!
This one looks like a banger and more proof that some people are always calling out evil.

@BlumeEvolution @flyIng @benny Klassiker von #GKChesterton, einem meiner liebsten Christen: »Die ganze Welt der Moderne hat sich in Konservative und Progressive aufgespalten. Aufgabe der Progressiven ist es, immer weiter Fehler zu begehen, und Aufgabe der Konservativen, zu verhindern, dass Fehler korrigiert werden.«

A quotation from G. K. Chesterson
For there are two ways of dealing with nonsense in this world. One way is to put nonsense in the right place; as when people put nonsense into nursery rhymes. The other is to put nonsense in the wrong place; as when they put it into educational addresses, psychological criticisms, and complaints against nursery rhymes or other normal amusements of mankind.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer
Essay (1921-10-15), “Child Psychology and Nonsense,” closing words, Illustrated London News, “Our Notebook” columnMore info about this quote: wist.info/chesterton-gilbert-k…

Interesting analysis of Dorothy Day and G.K. Chesterton's writings on gratitude, exploring how both thinkers viewed appreciation as a starting point rather than a conclusion. The commentary examines their belief that genuine gratitude opens pathways to deeper spiritual and intellectual engagement with the world. #DorothyDay #GKChesterton #CatholicIntellectuals #Gratitude #Philosophy #SocialJustice

Hey #Gotik-Freunde.
»Als Christus hörte, wie sich etliche Pharisäer … in Jerusalem über den lauthals betenden Haufen der Jünger ereiferten, prophezeite Er die gesamte gotische Architektur: ›Wo diese werden schweigen, so werden die Steine schreien.‹ In diesem Seinem Geiste entstanden wie lärmende Chöre die Fassaden der mittelalterlichen Dome, an denen es von laut rufenden Gesichtern und offenen Mündern nur so wimmelte.«
— #GKChesterton, »Die Ewige Revolution«, aus »„Orthodoxie« (1908 / Dt 2000). -
« It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
Although it break and leave the thorny rods,
It is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods. »― G. K. Chesterton

Good for me to think about. #Democracy is one of those things I engage in and am continually frustrated by.
I need to remember that democracy is about more than me.
"The sense of the miracle of humanity itself should be always more vivid to us than any marvels of power, intellect, art, or civilization."
