1.17 THE WORLDLY WAYS The world, the din, the time, the kin, In our days are a sin, Love’s condemned and not true, A farce for sex, a laugh at You.[179] - 1Simplicity is a crime, Frauds and liars are divine, Sex is worshiped, live not true, Cheat be cheated our mottos new.[180] - 1Love is lost - so dear to You, And lovers are but a few, ‘Cause they know that live if hell, As customs are but their cell.[181] - 1The lies, the crime, the evil ways, Are the paths of our days, We love our neighbor as love’s not true, And hate the others because they do too.[182] - 1

1. I think what haunts many people in the world is to lose something they love, something they value, and someone they care for, for me, it was my father, I was losing him when I met him. I felt life is bitter, it happens. Furthermore, I laughed while I see him, but there was a girl inside me, who was crying and feeling angry for life and the way it treats people. Deep inside I was already broke, but I smiled to show my father.

1. The troubled times that you go through are not meant to break you, instead they are meant to show you the hidden strength that lies within. It is at times like this when you thought you are broke that you suddenly discover that you have a pile of cash stashed away which you had completely forgotten about. Draw upon those hidden reserves that you never knew existed and come out stronger from the experience. It is your ability to brave the storm that is more important.

Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to emotionally and mentally ill persons and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

2There is no greater thing in life than that secret sense of harmony that unites us briefly with the great mysteries of others and allows us to travel alongside them for part of the way.
