Moral Busybodies

There are many writings of C.S. Lewis that I love. Writings that have made me think outside the narrow little box of my own musings. Here's one that is especially true and relevant in the culture we now find ourselves:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
