not powerless and
fearful,
not us: and so I pray and I work; I make coffee in the morning and hot meals to gather around the table at suppertime; I worship and sing out words of promise and praise; I raise children and read good books; I pray for my enemies and write letters and send money and show up to fold clothes and drop off meals with an extra bag of groceries; I advocate with the marginalized and amplify the oppressed and antagonize the Empire with a grin on my
face; I will honour those who get after the work of the Kingdom and celebrate; I learn how to listen to those with whom I disagree; I abandon the idea that we can baptize sinful practices in the name of sacred purposes; I will stand in the middle of the field near my house with my
face turned up to the rain and consider it a minor baptism.

Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been for this club... I'm certainly
not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's
not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU
faced upon Fergie's exit... less
fearful of maintaining the status quo than
facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have
faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting

In contrast, Hyde et al. (2016a, b) found, this time in a sample of young, low - income, urban men, that antisocial behavior (but
not CU traits) was negatively related to amygdala reactivity to
fearful faces.
Their results showed that antisocial behavior was related to increased amygdala reactivity to angry facial expressions, whereas CU traits or the interaction between CU traits and antisocial behavior were
not significantly related to amygdala reactivity for neither angry nor
fearful faces.
Support for this association between CU traits and processing of
fearful faces comes from neurological studies of older children having CU traits, that report reduced amygdala activation while processing
fearful, but
not angry
faces, as compared to typical child samples (Marsh and Blair, 2008).
So, contrary to our expectation and previous developmental data (see Kimonis et al., 2012 — however, compared to our study, these authors focused on male adolescents with combined anxiety and conduct disorder and used emotionally distressing pictures from IAPS, instead of
faces), the presence of CU traits in combination with higher anxiety was
not associated with greater orientation toward distress stimuli, such as
fearful faces.
