‘Arsenal drew last night’

“Unfortunately there have been days when I felt depressed that Arsenal did badly. And felt nothing for the horrors in the world. Nor did I weep for the sins in my heart.

I have been observing my emotions for sometime now. I have long come to suspect that emotions are important, and how we feel, a thermometer of the health of our soul.”
