CUZ “PNP” (PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION) GETS US WHERE WE NEED TO BE –
“The point is, that
we are willing to grow
along spiritual lines. The
principles we have set down
are guides to progress. We
claim spiritual progress ra
ther than spiritual per
fection.” (The Big
Book, p. 60)

THE MONEY-BOX
IN a nursery where a number of toys lay scattered about, a
money-box stood on the top of a very high wardrobe. It was
made of clay in the shape of a pig, and had been bought of the
potter. In the back of the pig was a slit, and this slit had
been enlarged with a knife, so that dollars, or crown pieces,
might slip through; and, indeed there were two in the box,
besides a number of pence. The money-pig was stuffed so full
that it could no longer rattle, which is the highest state of
perfection to which a money-pig can attain.
…
There he stood upon the cupboard, high and lofty, looking down upon
everything else in the room. He knew very well that he had
enough inside him to buy up all the other toys. And this gave
him a very good opinion of his own value. The rest thought of
this fact also. Although they did not express it. For there
were so many other things to talk about. A large doll, still
handsome. Though rather old, for her neck had been mended, lay
inside one of the drawers which was partly open. She called
out to the others, “Let us have a game at being men and women,
that is something worth playing at.” (more at http://www.aesopfables.com/cgi/aesop1.cgi?hca&a58)
