Timeless observations by Aldous Huxley in The San Francisco Examiner, February 18, 1933

Old print newspaper column feature with boxed headline: Living Through History By Aldous Huxley It was, I think, Dr. Johnson who said that the state of the country never put any man off his dinner. He was, as usual, quite right. Men suffer as individuals only from what affects them as individuals. So long as the "state of the country" does not affect for the worse their own private state they can remain, in spite of a theoretical and abstract distress, perfectly cheerful and content. The state of the country will put them off their dinner only when it has become so bad that there is no longer any dinner for them to be put off from. Given a punctual succession of dinners they will not feel greatly agitated, even though public affairs may be in what they know to. be a horrible state. * * * When we read in the history books of great events we imagine. that all those who lived through them realized the full horror, grandeur and significance of what was going on. But this is an illusion. We may be quite sure, for example, that the French Revolution left the great mass of Frenchmen and French women remarkably placid. * * * MILLIONS of people lived through the early years of the war in a state of placid con-tentment. They knew, theoretically, that the most murderous war in history was being fought out at no great distance from where they were; but as they themselves were not too terribly affected their knowledge remained entirety abstract. Practical realization came only with the food shortage — the curtailment of dinners.
