Just resign from the debating society and quit bothering yourself with such deep questions as to whether it was the hen or the egg that came first. Again I say, all you need is an open mind. (Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions [Alcoholics Anonymous], page 26)
I herein tender my resignation
from this most honorable and
prestigeous society. While I admit
I've drawn great pleasure,
bickering eloquently, propounding
postulates, reasoning pros and cons,
picking apart others' hypotheses
to support my own theorems.
I know I'll miss it, but I've chosen
an easier, better path. Now I need not know
all the nuances. Now I need only
an open mind and the willingness
that a power greater than I
should fill it.
