It
would be a product of false pride to claim that A.A. is a cure-all, even for
alcoholism.
*****
I suppose that the most debilitating aspect
of false-pride would be that I come to believe in the façade I construct with
it. Before I beat myself up for it I can look around and see that I am not
alone in creating a façade. Fortunately for me, I have had an existential
crises that stripped the mask from my face long enough to see where and whom I
truly was at that time. However, just because I drove myself to such an extreme
that the doors of perception gave me a glimpse of the light, I do not have the right
to inflict others with my vision. Furthermore, I found that I am directly
responsible to live humbly within that frame of reference. This means that I
work on my own shortcomings and leave others to deal with their own, lest I
begin to believe in my own wisdom and became a healer of sorts. No, the best I can do is to live by
example and becoming that example is to live in the joy of discovery.
