To Look Squarely
We want to find exactly how, when, and where our natural desires have
warped us. We wish to look squarely at the unhappiness this has caused
others and ourselves. By discovering what our emotional deformities are,
we can move toward their correction. Without a willing and persistent effort
to do this, there can be little sobriety or contentment for us.

Change we must; we cannot stand still.
