Perspective

“Was I crazy? I began to wonder, for such an appalling lack of perspective seemed near being just that.” (Chapter One, Big Book)

“‘Yes. All Hell is smaller than one pebble of your earthly world: but it is smaller than one atom of this world, the Real World. Look at yon butterfly. If it swallowed all Hell, Hell would not be big enough to do it any harm or to have any taste.’” (C. S. Lewis, The Great Divorce)

When I’m unhappy, it fills my consciousness.

When I’m in my right mind, the unhappiness disappears into nothingness.
