Summary | "Three Things" by Elinor Glyn is a collection of philosophical essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores essential themes in life, particularly focusing on Truth, Common Sense, and Happiness as key principles that guide human relationships and responsibilities. Glyn aims to provide insights that are beneficial for personal understanding and societal wellbeing, addressing topics such as marriage, motherhood, and evolving social norms. The opening of this collection sets the stage for Glyn’s exploration of societal change and individual responsibility. She introduces the premise that many people pursue happiness yet obstruct it through misguided actions driven by pride or misunderstanding of their desires. Glyn emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the clarity of one's goals, particularly within the context of marriage and motherhood. She discusses the impact of societal unrest as a sign of life rather than decay, urging readers to navigate their responsibilities thoughtfully and to cultivate happiness through recognizing and addressing both personal and societal expectations. Through clear logic and a hopeful outlook, Glyn encourages readers to employ common sense as a guiding principle in their interactions and life choices.
