A Tale of Two Cities - Living in Fantasy vs Reality

from Reasons to REASON · host Reasons to REASON

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." The above is the famous opening paragraph from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. In today's episode we talk about it's meaning to us today as we cover many lies and deceptions throughout history and present day and sort the fantasy from the reality; the superlatives from the grounded.
