EXPERIENCE MATTERS -
"One of the most
profound changes in
our lives is in the realm
of personal relationships.
Our earliest involvements
with others often begin with
our sponsor. As newcomers,
we find ... that trusting oth-
ers with more experience
is a strength rather than
a weakness." (The
Basic Text,
p. 33)
KEEPING A LOVING EYE OPEN -
"But does trust
require that we be
blind to other people's
motives or, indeed, to our
own? Not at all; this would
be folly. Most certainly, we
should assess the capacity
for harm as well as the ca-
pability for good in every
person that we would
trust." (12 & 12,
p. 52)
"Love all, trust
a few. Do wrong
to none."
- William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), English "All's Well That Ends Well", Act 1 Scene 1
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
