There are some writers you must read them to learn what it means to think,what it means to argue,how to keep your guns intact at all moments.Nietzsche,Adorno,Lawrence,Chesterton are few among them.Reading Adorno and Chesterton and Nietzsche are an exercise to mind to learn how to think.As far i know Chesterton was a most potential opponent of Nietzsche and a strong defendant of Christianity.Its very hard not to be absorbed by him whenever you read him.Only when i read Chesterton and Nietzsche together i understand why truth is a paradox.The insights which Chesterton brought to things or Nietzsche brought to things both were fascinating and true and same time very opposite to each other.Nietzsche want us admire the strong,Chesterton want us to despise the strong.Nietzsche pity the meek who want to inherit the earth.Chesterton question the meek who was not meek enough to inherit the earth.Its quite fun and challenging to read both together until you go mad.By reading both you learn what it means to take a stand and hold the guns!!!
