I found the post more of a great philosophy of a life approach -- even outside the "sober vs not" theme. Sometimes hostility from others who are not sober can come from the turn of an introspective eye (conscious or subconscious) to themselves. Meaning, seeing someone else sober, can make one question their own lack of sobriety, even if no chronic problem exists (alcoholism, etc.) Some cog. therapy stuffs. Found it in myself (inebriated) and with friends / others (when I am sober). Its interesting to see the reactions or non-reaction when one "thinks" you are intoxicated, when not, and those same people in a different setting knowing you are Not intoxicated.
