AA Thought for the Day

Self-justification

The alarming thing about pride-blindness
is the ease with which it is justified.
We need not look far to see
that this deceptive brand of self-justification
is a universal destroyer of harmony and of love.
It sets person against person, nation against nation.
By it, every form of folly and violence
can be made to look right, and even respectable.
Of course it is not for us to condemn.
We need only investigate ourselves.

- Bill W., June 1961.
