“The three-year-old cake taker advised us that AA had given him “a new leash” on life. He corrected himself, and stated he meant “a new lease on life.” However, it made me think that perhaps when we are running on self- will, it is as if we are free of our spiritual leash - like a dog running dangerously free.”
Shameless self-willed infatuation emboldens men to dare damnation, and starts the wheels of doom which roll relentless to their piteous goal.
— Aeschylus, Agamemnon
Selfishness—self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles.
