Stop Shoulding On Yourself

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.

The Great Majority Of The Things We Now Make Ourselves Panicked About Are Self-created 'dangers' That Exist Almost Entirely In Our Own Imaginations.

By Not Caring Too Much About What People Think, I'm Able To Think For Myself And Propagate Ideas Which Are Very Often Unpopular. And I Succeed With Them Because, Again, I Don't Care Too Much What Other People Think.

The Emotionally Mature Individual Should Completely Accept The Fact That We Live In A World Of Probability And Chance, Where There Are Not, Nor Probably Ever Will Be, Any Absolute Certainties, And Should Realize That It Is Not At All Horrible, Indeed—such A Probabilistic, Uncertain World.

Religious Fanaticism Has Clearly Produced, And In All Probability Will Continue To Produce, Enormous Amounts Of Bickering, Fighting, Violence, Bloodshed, Homicide, Feuds, Wars, And Genocide.
