Deconstructing Postmodern Culture

A classic Peanuts cartoon opens with Linus curled up in a chair, quietly reading a book. Lucy stands behind him with a funny look on her face. ‘It’s very strange,’ Lucy tells him. ‘It happens just by looking at you.’ ‘What happens?’ Linus asks. Lucy calmly answers, ‘I can feel a criticism coming on.’ How often do you feel the same way when you look closely at those around you? The truth is, that’s the tendency we all have apart from grace. — C.J. Mahaney, Humility
