Wickedness is an intricate net; and if someone is careless when partially entangled, he gets completely enmeshed.
This strikes me, to almost borrow a phrase from Cavell, as St. Mark’s religious interpretation of a perception he shares with Wittgenstein.
What we may call the perception of a Law of Entropy of evil and nonsense?
Do you have a suggestion?
Sorry for the unhappy formulation. I meant to ask if the perception you have in mind – in St. Mark case about evil and in Wittgenstein’s (I took it) about meaninglessness – is that their nature is such that they start us on a path of disorder that has a tendency to spread itself.
Right. Thanks, I like your way of putting it.
