In Fact Most Of What We Call

Needing Leads To Bleeding - To Almost All Inevitable Suffering.

My Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (rebt) Was One Of The Very Few Therapies That Was Originated Partly Or Largely Because I Wanted To Be Brief And Efficient. And Therefore Right From The Start I Was Active And Directive. I Tried To Show People Some Central Masturbatory Core To Their Philosophy And To Get Them To Work At Changing It Cognitively, Emotionally And Behaviorally.

If People Stopped Looking On Their Emotions As Ethereal, Almost Inhuman Processes, And Realistically Viewed Them As Being Largely Composed Of Perceptions, Thoughts, Evaluations, And Internalized Sentences, They Would Find It Quite Possible To Work Calmly And Concertedly At Changing Them.

Even When People Act Nastily To You, Don't Condemn Them Or Retaliate.

The More Sinful And Guilty A Person Tends To Feel, The Less Chance There Is That He Will Be A Happy, Healthy, Or Law-abiding Citizen. He Will Become A Compulsive Wrong-doer.
