Apples and Oranges
I had my first awakening in A.A. The speaker said, "If you’re an
apple, you can be the best apple you can be, but you can never
be an orange." I was an apple all right, and for the first time I
understood that I had spent my life trying to be an orange. I looked
around at a room filled with apples and, if I was understanding the
speaker, most of them were no longer trying to be oranges.
