Realization

When Barcelona beat Manchester United in Champions League final, I expected media to fill the space with articles of exaltation. But surprisingly I remembered the night when Arsenal beat Barcelona at Emirates this year.

My friend messaged that Arsenal remain the only team to have beaten Barca in this season's CL. I recalled the game and my happiness. I was so ecstatic that I said to myself, "This does the season". Even if Arsenal don't win a trophy I wont be bothered.

Little did I realize the abject capitulation of Gunner grit is around. Now the season in which Arsenal beat Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester United is being touted as worst of Arsene Wenger's stay at Arsenal. Even I am disgusted with Arsenal's performance this year.

But being more philosophical, I believe we should not get carried away by the momentum of situation (adversity or prosperity). There are local maxima and minima in life. They should not be counted as absolute.
