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.
Ho m ay be wrong, but even If he Is,
the decision, once made, m ust stan d
and th ere Is no use w rangling ab o u t It.
