AA Thought for the Day

June 12, 2004

Philosophy

AA is a synthesis of all the philosophy I've ever read,
all of the positive, good philosophy,
all of it based on love.
I have seen that there is only one law, the law of love,
and there are only two sins;
the first is to interfere with the growth
of another human being,
and the second is to interfere with one's own growth. . .
I stood off and took a long look at life
and the values I found in it:
I saw a paradox, that he who loses his life
does indeed find it.
The more you give, the more you get.

Thought to Ponder....

The less you think of yourself
the more of a person you become.
