The Eye Opener

Everyone agrees that excessive drinking is an evil. The alcoholic is convinced that for him it is a necessary evil. He thinks he would surely die if he didn’t drink. We know now that it only appeared necessary while we were doing our thinking with our appetites.
No evil is necessary except in the sense that friction is. Without it, we couldn’t get traction and without traction we could not move onward and upward.
