AA Thought for the Day

April 11, 2007

Fear

This short word somehow touches about every aspect of our lives.
It was an evil and corroding thread;
the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
It set in motion trains of circumstances
which brought us misfortune we felt we didn't deserve.
But did not we, ourselves, set the ball rolling?
Sometimes we think fear ought to be classed with stealing.
It seems to cause more trouble.

Thought to Ponder....
