Good Lord @nxtblg, this is one singurally brilliant comment and I trully appreciate you pointing this extremely interesting charachter created by the Late and Great Charles Dickens ! "Telescopic Philanthropy " yes perfect indeed this definition from this great mind and writer ! I have not read the book, but I am pretty sure I may have seen some old B/W British made film on this lady,s antics ! She is indeed symbolic of this same disease of the selF righteous leftist that blinded to her true surroundings and the realiities of her behaviour and consequences for the others around her ! Yes perfect indeed as a way of exposing this social diseaseI which is the socially concerned individual that ignores the livelyhoods of their own kind ! Sad indeed ! I shall be looking seriously into this as it does sound totally anchored in this very same subject and failing of humanity we see so burdoning us now as a culture as a whole ! How did we get to here you might ask ?! And sadly I would reply that Mrs Jellyby is much like the leftist crowd, victim of beliefs fed to her by the Social Engineers that know us better than we do ourselves ! The Hidden hand is placed high above us and delves very deep ! We will need to fight with all of our might, to survive the Destiny offered by this very Hand we have always failed to see as it has always been kept so hidden from our eyes !We live Dark Times, the return to the times of Dickens when life was cheap and food and medecine was a dream of the tomorrow that so many then, young and old never saw ! For this great comment i award you my very rare and not so famous 33 degree Maon Vote )
Bravo Good Sir )
