F E A R

The achievement of freedom from fear
is a lifetime undertaking,
one that can never be wholly completed.
When under heavy attack, acute illness,
or in other conditions of serious insecurity,
we shall all react to this emotion --
well or badly, as the case may be.
Only the self-deceived will claim perfect freedom from fear.

Bill W., Grapevine, January 1962
c. 1967 AAWS, As Bill Sees It,  p. 263


Thought to Consider . . .
Courage is the willingness to accept fear and act anyway.
