For all its usual destructiveness,
we have found that fear can be the starting point
for better things.
Fear can be a steppingstone to prudence
and a decent respect for others.
It can point the path to justice, as well as to hate.
And the more we have of respect and justice,
the more we shall begin to find the love
which can suffer much, and yet be freely given.
- Bill W., January 1962.

Thought to Ponder....

Fear is not an admission of weakness;
fear is an opportunity for courage.
