Other people must do "the right thing" or else they are no good and deserve<br />

to be punished.<br />

So. In hospital recovering from a stroke, watching other people have family come and care for<br />

them. Where is my family? <strong>The</strong> fuckers never showed. Why do I feel so abandoned and let<br />

down?<br />

I created this desolation and anger with my concepts. <strong>The</strong>y should do the 'right thing' whatever<br />

I as the supreme ruler <strong>of</strong> the universe decide that is.<br />

I became as a consequence:<br />

Inflexible and unrealistic<br />

I assumed my authority over others<br />

I assumed a clear-cut difference between right and wrong<br />

I assumed my ability to inerrantly differentiate between right and wrong<br />

Placed myself at the center <strong>of</strong> the universe with others catering to my needs and wants<br />

This lead to conflict with others who also see themselves as the center <strong>of</strong> the universe<br />

Non-accepting <strong>of</strong> human fallibility<br />

I became my own victim <strong>of</strong> the following sub beliefs:<br />

Everybody should treat everyone else (especially me) in a fair and considerate manner.<br />

If they act unfairly or inconsiderately, they are no good.<br />

If they act unfairly or inconsiderately, they deserve to be punished.<br />

Society or the universe must ensure that they get the punishment they deserve.<br />

Other people must not act incompetently or unwisely.<br />

If they act incompetently or unwisely, they are worthless idiots.<br />

If they act incompetently or unwisely, they should be ashamed <strong>of</strong> themselves.<br />

If they act incompetently or unwisely, they should expect none <strong>of</strong> the good things in life.<br />

Talented people must use their talent.<br />

Everyone must reach their potential.<br />

People who don't live up to their potential have little or no value as human beings.<br />

Other people must not criticize me.<br />

If they unjustly criticize me, they are no good and don't deserve anything good to happen to<br />

them.
