G.K. Chesterton argues that mankind has a growing tendency to devalue what is truly good in the world, and instead favor the things man thinks are ‘better’ than the other things. Instead of understanding what is truly good in the world, Chesterton suggests that mankind shoves it under the rug, and instead assumes that if it is not as good as it could be, it is worthless. Chesterton therefore seeks to advocate for the underappreciated things in the world.
