REALITY
“The books the world calls immortal are the books that show the world its own shame.”~ Oscar Wilde ~
In my addiction, I avoided things I did not like or did not want to consider. I hid from life and condemned things I did not wish to understand. My ego created a hypocritical purity that caused me to judge, condemn, and abuse the thoughts and ideas of those I considered inferior.
Today I live and let live-not to avoid conflict or criticism but because I have found, through experience, how my ideas and attitudes have changed during my years of recovery. People I would have condemned to hell are now my friends and mentors. Concepts and lifestyles that were once abhorrent to me are now appreciated and inspiring. What was once dismissed as immoral is part of my life.God of truth and reality, help me accept the difference in others.
