"Grandfather
says...you must not hurt anybody or do harm to anyone. You must not fight. Do
right always. It will give you satisfaction in life."
Wovoka Paiute
Resentment
is the number one offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else.
From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally
and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick. When the spiritual malady is
overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.

As
in war, the victor only seemed
to win. Our moments of triumph were short-lived.

Book pg. 66
We
avoid retaliation or argument. We wouldn't treat sick people that way. If we
do, we destroy our chance of being helpful. We cannot be helpful to all people,
but at least God will show us how to take a kindly and tolerant view of each
and every one.
