Of Course It’s Not October 9th!

But the Daily Reflection for October 9th holds true today as it does each day…

A Spiritual Axiom

“It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us.”

In the body of the person’s response in the Daily Reflection they say this;

“Feelings come from inside, not from outward circumstances. When my spiritual condition is positive, I react positively.”

On page 90 in the 12&12, speaking about the spiritual axiom and anger, it says;

“Few people have been more victimized by resentments than have we alcoholics. It mattered little whether our resentments were justified or not. A burst of temper could spoil a day, and a well-nursed grudge could make us miserably ineffective. Nor were we ever skillful in separating justified from unjustified anger. As we saw it, our wrath was always justified. Anger, that occasional luxury of more balanced people, could keep us on an emotional jag indefinitely. These emotional “dry benders” often led straight to the bottle. Other kinds of disturbances - jealousy, envy, self-pity, or hurt pride - did the same thing.”

Our poor “friend” Micky has, once again, resorted to lies and name-calling because he’s not getting his way. Now I am a coward and my father was (yeah, he’s dead fool) a murderer. And I won’t allow his comments to be read. Awww…

I now have over 130 screen shots of your spam which I am going to send to your ISP in Australia and Google, with a complaint that you are more than a spammer - you needlessly harass good people all over the Internet with your hateful name-calling and blog defacing. And I’m not sorry one bit!
