3. That I deserve:

. . .to be punished for mistakes.

. . .to be rewarded for perfection.

. . .to be rewarded for good behavior, intentions, thoughts, feelings, whatever.

4. That I can “make” sense out of anything. (“Making” sense is not the same as “discovering” sense.)

5. That I am responsible for

. . .for outcomes.

. . .for other people’s feelings, thoughts or actions.

6. That I am not responsible for my own actions��that it is all someone else’s fault.
