[glow=blue,32,300]In a letter to a friend, AA co-founder bill W. wrote. " I don't think happiness or unhappiness is the point. How do we meet the problems we face? How do we best learn from them and transmit what we have learned to others, If they would receive the knowledge? In my view, we of this world are pupils in a great school of life. It is intended that we try tro grow, and that we try to help our fellow travelers to grow in the kind od love that makes no demands... When pain comes, we are expected to learn from it willingly, and help others to learn. When happiness comes, we accept it as a gift, and thank God for it." Can I accept both pain and Happiness willingly?[/glow]
