Our 2nd greatest ongoing concern in life should be that of the welfare of our fellow human beings -JUST HOW IS IT THAT THE MOST INTELLIGENT, MOST CAPABLE, MOST DOMINANT CREATURE ON THIS PLANET FAILS -WHERE SO MANY OF GOD’S LOWER CREATURES THRIVE??? It’s quite simple really “MAN BELIEVES HE IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE -THAT HE CAN NOT ONLY SURVIVE, BUT THRIVE NOT BY UNITY, NOT BY ISOLATION, BUT BY EXPLOITATION, BY OPPRESSION, BY INTIMIDATION OF HIS FELLOW MAN (AND FELLOW CREATURES)!”

Our very lives, as ex-problem drinkers, depend upon our constant thought of others and how we may help meet their needs [Source: Alcoholics Anonymous; Chapter 2; pg 20].

Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our activities. “How can I best serve Thee—Thy will (not mine) be done.’’ These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. We can exercise our will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will. [Source: Alcoholics Anonymous; Chapter 6; pg 85].

Perhaps the greatest example of a human being having strayed from God’s perfect design is that of a parent who places other concerns above the welfare of their own children 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I (once) knew such a man! 😔
