Correct Quotes

“I went to a few AA meetings and realized that, in essence, the Twelve Steps were supposed to teach me how to have a conscience, how to care about things other than myself, how to correct my mistakes and act with honor and integrity, as well as how to understand good behavior and taking responsibility for bad behavior. They taught me how to understand a sense of “good” that went beyond my personal feelings, lusts, desires, and opinions. These very basic concepts of good and bad gave me a concrete foundation.”

“Just as each person has certain idiosyncracies in the way he or she walks, people have idiosyncracies in the way they think and feel and see things, and though you might want to correct them, it doesn’t happen overnight, and if you try to force the issue in one case, something else might go funny. He gave me a very simplified explanation, of course, and it’s just one small part of the problems we have, but I think I understand what he was trying to say. It may well be that we can never fully adapt to our own deformities. Unable to find a place inside ourselves for the very real pain and suffering that these deformities cause, we come here to get away from such things. As long as we are here, we can get by without hurting others or being hurt by them because we know that we are “deformed.” That’s what distinguishes us from the outside world: most people go about their lives there unconscious of their deformities, while in this little world of ours the deformities themselves are a precondition. Just as Indians wear feathers on their heads to show which tribes they belong to, we wear our deformities in the open. And we live quietly so as not to hurt one another.”
