Thanks for the post, Wegweiser. I agree with the poet here and believe this approach to living falls nicely in line with what I've been taught about sobriety: that when I am hurting most for joy, the search must not be one for something to make me happy - that's the addictive way of thinking. The search must be on to help someone else. The path to happiness is indeed hidden and fleeting, but as the poet says it's easy to see "injustice" (or in the case of addiction) it's easy to find others who are hurting. We are everywhere. If I take the time to focus on others in need, then the path to personal peace reveals itself by accepting and working on the pain of others that is constantly in front of me.
