Imagine That John Lennon Wasn't An Idiot

A radio host played Lennon’s classic song “Imagine” this morning. When it finished he went on and on about how great a song it was and how great a person Lennon was.

What is wrong with a person’s world view when he rhapsodises about a wife beating drug addict who can only imagine peace because he is incapable of living it?

And just how stoned do you have to be to believe, to REALLY BELIEVE that you can bring about world peace by refusing to get out of bed?

What a wretched state when people need drugs coursing through their veins in order to feel love toward other human beings.

When asked for his opinion on “What is wrong with the world?” the brilliant G.K. Chesterton answered, “I am.” Would that John Lennon possessed such insight.

A lack of peace is not the fault of borders or religion or anything else outside of one’s own corrupted self-loving soul.
