SANITY
Insanity is repeating the same mistake and expecting different results.
~ Anonymous
Our old world of an out-of-control self- will was strange and crazy. Everything was turned around: right was left, up was down, good was bad, white was black, night was day. We could trust in nothing, because nothing trusted us. We believed in nothing because nothing believed in us. We loved nothing because nothing loved us. We became cruel and mean spirited. We lived life always on the defensive.
The more we acted on the strength of our own ego, the smaller our world became. Finally, in desperation, we shut everyone and everything out. Then we were truly isolated, living m a make-believe world filled with dragons, monsters, and ghosts. Our ego had painted us into a corner and our lives had become unmanageable.
I learned the way to stop my craziness in my Second Step. My sanity has been restored.
