Who Are We Kidding? We’re Producing Men Without Chests.

men without chestsIs this not the sort of society we are producing: men without chests?

What can we say about gratuitous violence followed by callous defiance? What about college sex weeks and what can be an orgy-like campus lifestyle? And on and on …

We want the function of honor and character without the necessary heart-source – don’t speak of universal truth, eternal principles, or natural law. Lewis was so prescient. So prophetic …

In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.

The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis

    It is unfortunate how spot on Mr. Lewis was.

    I love that book – one of his bests.

      I read ‘The Abolition of Man’ in college. Need to tap that one again, Paul. Succinct, powerful, prophetic. Thanks for the comment.
