“Go away and LEAVE ME ALONE!!”

Ever have one of those days???
“Some will object to many of the questions posed, because they think their own character defects have not been so glaring. To these it can be suggested that a conscientious examination is likely to reveal the very defects the objectionable questions are concerned with. Because our surface record hasn’t looked too bad, we have frequently been abashed to find that this is so simply because we have buried these self-same defects deep down in us under thick layers of self-justification. Whatever the defects, they have finally ambushed us into alcoholism and misery.” 12 & 12, pgs 53-54
Hence, (I believe), the “profundity” if you spot it, you got it.
Then… another “no co-incidence.” Going back a few readings and meditations to see what else relates to Oscar the Grouch for a day, I find this;
“During the times I didn’t have love in my life I most assuredly had fear. To fear God is to be afraid of joy. In looking back, I realize that, during the times I feared God most, there was no joy in my life. As I learned not to fear God, I also learned to experience joy.”
An answer… how about that?
