Quote:
We are all serving a life sentence in the dungeon of self.
-Cyril Connoly
Some say the whole purpose of our sojourn here is to escape from self. It is gloomy and frightening in that private inner dungeon. Many of us have tried to escape, hoping that when we came to our senses we would no longer be a prisoner. Thankfully, our addictions brought us to our knees in defeat -and we had to acknowledge a power greater than ourselves. It was the only way some of us might have ever known God.
Those of us who feel a Guiding Hand in our life know that we escape ourselves by getting involved with others. The bars of self crumble as we become honest and share our fears and weaknesses, hopes and strengths with each other.
Today I will look for opportunities to share my inner self.

Like this, don't remember reading it before. So glad that old news, is still good news in today.
Love Garfield, for me he is the perfect mirror of an addict in full blown addiction.
