EQUALITY
“Treat all persons alike. Give them all the same laws. Give them all an even chance to live and grow.”
~ Chief Joseph
Today it is important for me to remember that I am not the only human being in the universe. I need to respect and be considerate of others. Spirituality requires that I treat all people with dignity and respect because they carry something of God within them. The image of God is with all people. In this way, I show and give respect to self.
As an alcoholic, I was selfish and demanding, wanting my way all the time. Sobriety teaches me that “the way” must include others; my fellow and sister humans are part of my life and my journey. I cannot live in isolation and be sober.
Spirit of the world, teach me to respect others because, in this way, I respect myself.
