AA Thought for the Day

August 30, 2007

Fool's Gold

I may attain "humility for today" only to the extent
that I am able to avoid the bog of guilt and rebellion on one hand
and, on the other hand,
that fair but deceiving land which is strewn with the fool's-gold of pride.
This is how I can find and stay on the highroad to humility,
which lies between these extremes.
Therefore, a constant inventory
which can reveal when I am off the road is always in order.

Thought to Ponder....

The difference between pride and humility:
Pride is who is right; humility is what is right.
