Good morning! My thought for today is Insanity. The dictionary definition of insanity is a severely disordered or unsound state of mind that impairs a person’s ability to understand reality, distinguish right from wrong, or meet the mental capacity required for legal responsibility. Other definitions I have heard are doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Or, knowing what to do and not doing it. Or, knowing what not to do and doing it anyway. Or, being in a twelve step program and not working the twelve steps. In all cases, it is having a distorted view of what reality actually is. I was at a meeting last night and one of the topics was Step Two: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. That would imply, of course, that we were insane to begin with and so far as my drinking was concerned, I was, as the book says, strangely insane. Luckily, there was a Power at work in my life that was restoring my distorted ways of thinking back to some degree of normalcy.
