i sometimes wonder how i will ever do any good.
every little thing i do to be part of the solution, actually helps? HMMMMM, well i guess it could not hurt. although world peace, no hungry children and the end of active addiction world wide, would be nice, accomplishing any of these things are well beyond the capabilities of this addict alone. so i have to settle for, no i have to accept that there is plenty to to foster those goals with the actions i take in a limited manner today.
i could go on about paying it forward as the reading talks about, however i am sure that i have written about this topic before, so i will just say that today, i will do what i can to make the world a better place, baby steps at a time.
i am clean, and doing my best to minimize the amount of chaos and damage i foster just by being human.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
3) Therefore a sage has said,
'He who accepts his state's reproach,
Is hailed therefore its altars' lord;
To him who bears men's direful woes
They all the name of King accord.'
