One qualification for a useful life
is give-and-take,
the ability to compromise cheerfully.
Compromise comes hard to us "all-or-nothing" drunks.
Nevertheless, we must never lose sight of the fact
that progress is nearly always characterized
by a series of improving compromises. . .

Deciding when to compromise
and when not to compromise
always calls for the most careful discrimination.
Bill W., 1962

Thought to Ponder....

As we go through the day we pause,
when agitated or doubtful,
and ask for the right thought or action.
