Self-Pity
"Self-pity is one of the most unhappy and consuming defects that we know.
It is a bar to all spiritual progress and can cut off all effective communication
with our fellows because of its inordinate demands for attention and sympathy.
It is a maudlin form of martyrdom, which we can ill afford."
- As Bill Sees It, (Maudlin Martyrdom) No. 238
Thought to Ponder . . .
Self-pity is followed by isolation is followed by a drink.
