Ukraine Seen from a Tidy Office

by Reg Green

“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered ………. in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.” C.S. Lewis

  1. No, the evil sordidness is stewed and brewed in minds and hearts of those who’re enamored with greed, power, cruelty. It’s a pity that the heartless and soulless are mindful of madness. But as Howdy Doody might say, ‘Those whom the gods will destroy, they first make mad.’
