Discipline by G.K. Chesterton

Posted in

Distraction For though we talk lightly of doing this or that to distract the mind, it remains really as well as verbally true, that to be distracted is to be distraught. The original Latin word does not mean relaxation, it means being torn asunder as by wild horses. The original Greek word that corresponds to it is used in the text which says that Judas burst asunder in the midst.
