It explains why it seems like Leftist women in politics can come across as the most tyrannical of all...probably related to that famous quote by C.S. Lewis:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
That C.S. Lewis observation is great, one of my favorites too, and right on the money.
Apropos for the covid panic, “Living in an Atomic Age.”
I recently tried to digest his “Four Loves.” It’s not an easy read, but is very thought provoking. I consider myself fortunate to have been born in a time when his writings were fairly well known.
