“Being wrecked in the same vessel, being restored and united under one God, with hearts and minds attuned to the welfare of others, the things which matter so much to some people no longer signify much to them.” (Chapter 11, Big Book)
The other day, I heard someone use the phrase bigger and better, about something or other. I asked myself: Is bigger better? Is more better? My life used to be about bigger, better, more, higher, faster: the next notch on the comparative scale.
Today things are much more static, stable, and peaceful. Here is fine. I don’t need there. What I have is fine. I don’t need more.
