A collection of essays by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, "Defences" of things at best less appreciated than they ought to be.
"... It becomes increasingly apparent, therefore, that the world is in a permanent danger of being misjudged. That this is no fanciful or mystical idea may be tested by simple examples. The two absolutely basic words 'good' and 'bad,' descriptive of two primal and inexplicable sensations, are not, and never have been, used properly. Things that are bad are not called good by any people who experience them; but things that are good are called bad by the universal verdict of humanity.
"... I have found that every man is disposed to call the green leaf of the tree a little less green than it is, and the snow of Christmas a little less white than it is; therefore I have imagined that the main business of a man, however humble, is defence. I have conceived that a defendant is chiefly required when worldlings despise the world--that a counsel for the defence would not have been out of place in that terrible day when the sun was darkened over Calvary and Man was rejected of men." G. K. C.

Chesterton got this one wrong
Bill Cosby
(5 Sterne)
Once again Chesterton delivers an amazingly prescient commentary on society and the world we live in. Therein lies the problem. Insightful insights into human and societal nature are no longer deserving of applause. What society really endorses is enthusiastic cock sucking. Sadly Chesterton was not a homosexual, nor did he shed light on the oppressive nature of cis-genderism. I must therefore conclude this work is evil and needs to be shunned. Maybe we could get A non-binary author to rewrite this, but include lots of anal sex. Until this happens, I just cannot recommend anybody listen to this. These essays are Not appropriate for the general public. Common essays must include discourses on dick sucking and the evils of whiteness. These stories are only appropriate for expert scholars researching the degenerate nature of anglos back at the turn of the 20th century. Anglos are still degenerate, but we were even more so back then.
