Do not mock him whom
thou seest commit a fault and do not throw it in his face. Enter into thyself
and fear lest that which offends thee in others may happen to thyself.

An
illness of this sort--and we have come to believe it an illness--involves those
about us in a way no other human sickness can. If a person has cancer all are
sorry for him and no one is angry or hurt. But not so with the alcoholic
illness, for with it goes annihilation of all things worth while in life. It engulfs
all whose lives touch the sufferer's. It brings misunderstanding, fierce
resentment, financial insecurity, disgusted friends and employers, warped lives
of blameless children, sad wives and parents--anyone can increase the list.
