“Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things.”
G.K. Chesterton
Yeah, this applies the culture and America and all that. The propaganda is obvious and it is subtle. But it is pervasive and it erases all that came before — good and ill.
Let’s talk about me, an individual human gliding inexorably towards infinity.
Every man decays by forgetting obvious things.
Don’t forget the obvious.
First, biological. Sleep. Rest. Eat. Exercise.
Second, spiritual. Who am I? As above, so below. That is where I am, in relation to time, matter, and God. At once ephemeral and the center of the universe.
Third, social. What is true and has been since the beginning of the universe? Family. Friendship. Loyalty, honor. These are true today — as true as they were 2,000 years ago. Live that way.
