[ACWDYG ] For Today

For Today --

Most surely, there can be no trust where there is no love, nor can be real

love where distrust holds malign sway. But does trust require that we be

blind to other people's motives or, indeed, to our own? Not at all; this

would be folly. Most certainly, we should assess the capacity for harm as

well as the capability for good in every person that we would trust. Such

a private inventory can reveal the degree of confidence we should extend

in any given situation. However, this inventory needs to be taken in a spirit

of understanding and love.

If we have learned one thing from our past it is that to live through traumatic

events is not enough; one has to share them and transform them into acts of

conscience.
