Today I think I can trace a clear linkage
between my guilt and my pride.
In pride I could say,
"Look at me, I am wonderful."
In guilt I would moan, "I'm awful."
Therefore guilt is really the reverse side of pride.
Guilt aims at self-destruction,
and pride aims at destruction of others.
That is why I see humility for today
as that safe and secure stance midway between
these violent emotional extremes.
- Bill W., June 1961.

Thought to Ponder....
