ALL OR NOTHING
Posted 2 April, 2008 in As Bill See's It, Meetings
Acceptance and faith are capable of producing 100 per cent sobriety. In fact, they usually do; and they must, else we could have no life at all. But the moment we carry these attitudes into our emotional problems, we find that only relative results are possivle. Nobody can, for example, become completely free from fear, anger, and pride.
Hence, in this life we shall attain nothing like pefect humility and love. So we shall have to settle, respecting most of our problems, for a very gradual progress, punctuated sometimes by heavy setbacks. Our oldtime attitude of “all or nothing” will have to be abandoned.
