What's Wrong With The World?

Today I read an article in Catholic Online, which is also the source of the picture below. The title of the article is: Self Worship: The 'Sin of ME'. In reading the article, I thought of Chesterton's response to an invitation by The London Times to write an essay on the theme of "What's Wrong with the World?" Chesterton's response?

Dear Sirs,

I am.

Sincerely yours,

G. K. Chesterton

As noted in Wikipedia: "Typically, Chesterton here combined wit with a serious point - that of fallen human nature and humility."


The point of this post is to try to get you to read the Catholic Online article. For Chesterton purists, the "Quotemeister" at The American Chesterton Society has this to say about the validity of the "I am." quotation.
