Work does not produce nervous breakdowns, despite what anyone may have told you to the contrary. Work as hard as you like and as long as you like. If you’re in normal health, you come to little harm…

It is the desperate fight to keep up a front with Chrisitan friends of with the Christian public, to appear smiling spiritual and “produce” spiritually when you know all the while that your true inner life does not measure up to your exterior image.
