Why are our feelings a good test? Because we are wired to respond emotionally to events. When it seems as though our goals are thwarted, we will tend to feel negatively. When we fail to reach (or think we fail to reach) an idolatrous goal, we will tend to feel very negatively. It could be anger, sadness, disappointment, frustration or even boredom (feeling that nothing else will satisfy us).
