{Detachment}[8th April 1990]

[Redbook7:121][19900408:2350]{Detachment}[8th April 1990]


19900408.2350


At the end of all this,* I find that I really have become remarkably detached about things which would have (and have) bothered me: eg rejection by the Church; writing and publishers; money.... Only, I am afraid, I still occasionally shout at my children (and once or twice at my wife): but even then, there is no longer any depth of negative feeling there; perhaps it is just a habit.** (It was one of the things which bothered me about ordination [as a priest], my loud voice within the family.)***



*[See [Redbook7:104-114][19900328:1738]{Tested Again}[28th March 1990]ff; & [Redbook7:104-114][19900328:1738]{Tested Again}[28th March 1990]ff]


**{(And exasperation)}


***{(And still does, about living in a town)}
