If we study any civilization, we see that after progress comes decay. Chesterton says men do not grow tired of evil but of good. they become weary of joy. They stop worshiping God and start worshiping idols, their own bad imitations of God, and they become as wooden as the thing they worship. They start worshiping nature and become unnatural. They start worshiping sex and become perverted. Men start lusting after men and become unmanly.
The most ignorant of humanity know by the very look of earth that they have forgotten heaven.
