of Thought}[7th July 1970]
Tuesday the 7th July
1970
4.45.pm. [continued]
To record a
thought process: (reading) Henry II on law -- (thinks) Henry II -- a great step
in civilisation: better laws -- essentially a tidy mind? ~ essential -- do not
despise tidy minded men -- business men are necessary -- business men are also
men first, business afterwards, not v.v. as some seem to think -- the trouble
with so many left-wingers, revolutionaries and idealists is that they see the
world in simple terms -- although they may themselves be very subtle or devious
in their immediate dealings -- I may well be rather simple in living and
thinking immediately, but I do, I hope, recognise the terrible complexity of
the world which makes nothing certain.
