Committing crime is but a “quack cure” trying to get rid of personal ills by sneezing them onto other people.

​​

In some ways committing a crime is like sneezing, in that it only results in the victim/s catching some of the offender's symptoms (feelings of lack of power, paranoia, self-rejection etc.) but the offender ending up feeling even more poorly than s/he did.

Tip: In trying to get rid of a persistent urge to commit a crime, be aware, that it always makes a never-ending drama about being rejected: “But you feel so weak, and this (crime/wrong) will make you feel powerful.” “You’ve got no choice but to commit the crime/wrong!” “It will be the potential victim’s fault, not yours!” You should have a right to commit this crime because … Blah! Blah! Blah! Moan! Moan! Moan! Whinge! Whinge! Whinge!

​However, it is best to treat such whinging with the same disrespect that the intended crime/wrong would have shown to any victim, family, friends, and community - or indeed will show to yourself.

 

​Just like any physical healing, emotional and moral rehabilitation will take time, which means that impatience can often lead to painful and costly mistakes (and even it doesn’t - it will still seem too ******* slow).

​

​​ In conclusion, there is no shame in having urges, we all get them, yet, a sense of pride, belonging, security, and completeness can be gained by refusing to be molested by any whinging urge to commit a crime or wrong.
