RE: Kabamur Taygeta: We are Living in Separate Realities
There is only one reality
Men reform a thing by removing the reality from it, and then do not know what to do with the unreality that is left.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Facts as facts do not always create a spirit of reality, because reality is a spirit.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
One of the things that distinguishes man from the other animals is that he wants to know things, wants to find out what reality is like, simply for the sake of knowing. When that desire is completely quenched in anyone, I think he has become something less than human.
C. S. Lewis

“Chesterton knew something about madness; he had been to the edge of the abyss and had stared deep into the darkness. But rather than succumb, he emerged with a clarity and sureness of vision that was surely a grace. In his wonderful book on St. Thomas Aquinas—written in 1933, just three years before his death—Chesterton wrote:
There are no bad things, but only bad uses of things. If you will, there are no bad things but only bad thoughts; and especially bad intentions. . . . But it is possible to have bad intentions about good things; and good things, like the world and the flesh have been twisted by a bad intention called the devil. But he cannot make things bad; they remain as on the first day of creation. The work of heaven alone was material; the making of a material world. The work of hell is entirely spiritual.
Chesterton took reality seriously—and that meant he took good and evil seriously. He recognized the spiritual battle that rages around and within us, and how each of us must choose between good and evil, light and dark, love and despair. He was an early and outspoken critic of eugenics, which had grown in popularity in England and America during the early 1900s, and of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism in Germany. This was not due to some ideological stance on his part but because of his metaphysical insight and anthropological sensibilities. He denounced “this new and naked nationalism [that] has come to many modern men as a substitute for their dead religion.””
“On one hand, then, we continually encounter and battle crass materialism; on the other hand, we meet the dissatisfied seekers who know there must be more to life but refuse to believe that truth can really be known or that dogma can provide answers. As Chesterton wrote in Heretics (1905) of the novelist George Moore, who left the Catholic Church: his “real quarrel with life is that it is not a dream that can be molded by the dreamer. It is not the dogma of the reality of the other world that troubles him, but the dogma of the reality of this world.”
Chesterton is a good guide to reality—for those who have the love and the stomach for such a thing.”
