Remember Mindfulness – breathe slowly

Understanding

Tolerance is not a specific principle of the Twelve Step
fellowships, but it is behind all the Twelve Principles,
which are: Acceptance, Hope, Faith, Courage,
Honesty, Patience, Humility, Willingness, Brotherly
Love, Integrity, Self-Discipline and Service. It is
hard to see how you can embrace any one of those
without tolerance. The essence of the programme is
tolerance and a first timer at a meeting who listens
to the preamble would appreciate that. We know the
dangers of judging others and we have seen how
rules and dogma lead to argument and
enforcement. Am I grateful to be one of a group
that tries to live by spiritual principles?

Who am I to pass judgement on another? Well,
perhaps there are times when I should do so,
otherwise society might become chaotic. On the
other hand, I am not without fault. I may be right
to confront unacceptable behaviour in others, but I
should not label every person as bad who does not
act the way that I want. Understanding other
people is more important than judging them. With
understanding, I will find the good in people not
the bad. Today I ask not to be judgmental
