ALL OUR HOUSES TODAY ARE OF GLASS By C H A R LES G. SHAW , Professor of Philosophy of New York University. The man in the glass house is not supposed to throw stones. If he breaks windows in other houses, what will happen to his fragile dwelling when the other man retaliates? At the same time, criticism is a necessary part of human life, just as acid is an element of foot! or the hitter taste an ingredient in the flavor of coffee. IJut the glass house is not only fragile but transparent. You criti cize your neighbor and your neighbor begins to look into and through your edifice. Judge and you will be judged. Your house of glass throws your life open to the world. You see something awry when you peer into the glass windows of the other’s house, but he sees more that is questionablf in you. Your glass house shields you from neither missiles nor criticism. To live in a glass house must be uncomfortable, since glass is not the proper material to use in constructing a comfortable dwelling. No one would think of calling it a home. Light comes through the roof and floor, wall and wall. In the glass house you have no privacy. You can see in all directions, but you can be seen from all directions, too. If the glass of your house were adamant you would find your vitrified dwelling uncom fortable. It could be no place for the human soul. Nevertheless, whole cities are now being built of glass houses. The house may look as though it were made of brick or concrete, but in reality it is a dwelling of glass, where no private life is possible. No man liveth to himself alone. But if it is bad to live in seclusion, it is not much better to live in lack of seclusion. The need of contemporary life is to find some new form of seclusion. We must live together and eat together and travel together, but we may be able to find some new way of nourishing the private inner life. This new seclusion you must find, lest your life be all public and miscellaneous. A mar’s house is his castle, a place of defense. In your glass castle you must find the new seclusion.
