AA Thought for the Day

December 12, 2004

Tolerance

I must forgive injuries, not just in words,
or as a matter of form, but in my heart.
I do this not for the other persons' sake,
but for my own sake.
Resentment, anger,
or a desire to see someone punished,
are things that rot my soul.
Such things fasten my troubles to me with chains.
