Throughout the entire world today
we are witnessing the breakdown of "group conscience."
It has always been the hope of democratic nations
that their citizens would be enlightened enough
to manage their own affairs through chosen representatives.
But in many self-governing countries we are now seeing
the inroads of ignorance, apathy, and power-seeking
upon democratic systems. . .
Consequently many a land has become so helpless
that the only answer is dictatorship.
Happily for us, there seems little prospect
of such a calamity in AA.
The life of each individual and of each group
is built around our Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. . .
An even greater force for AA's unity
is the compelling love that we have for our fellow members
and for the principles
upon which our lives today are founded.

Thought to Ponder....

There is no strength without unity.
