unique ?!?

Posted: Fri, Jul 2, 2004 04:57:16 AM

thank GOD i am an unique individual
it would be awful boring if everyone in RECOVERY were the same
however, the difference between and everyone else in the program does not change the fact that i can learn from others, or that in the most basic sense i share striking similiarities in how i act, react, behave, feel and generally process the events in my life
although some days i would love to think that i am so different from the rest that there is nothing i can get from staying around the rooms
i know where this thought comes from and where it will lead --
OUT OF THE ROOMS AND INTO THE STREETS
..maybe not at once, but eventually it would grow to the point where i would believe that i could use socially
and for someone like me that has never been possible -- well maybe it was once a very long time ago.
so i guess i will be an individual and let the program of recovery work for me today.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

2) So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to
(the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one
(the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the
one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness
arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical
notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with
another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following
another.
