Great Sayings – C.P. Snow on Obedience (Covid-19 meaning here)
“When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion.”
We have some power grabbing governors vs. some who are trying to re-start their states. Who knows which model will be correct. Forcing people to close businesses and not being able to feed their families seems overbearing though. It happened only a few miles from me to an honest fellow and it seemed unfair.
Who we trust in positions of authority right now and their limits of authority are certainly of interest. Being a student of history doesn’t give me a real sense of hope or belief that many of them have our best interests in mind ahead of their sense of power. My .02.
