Adapted from the 12 steps of AA, adapted to human nature...
1. We admitted we were powerless over nothing, that we could mange our lives perfectly and those of anyone else who would allow us.
2. Came to believe there was no power greater than ourselves and the rest of the world was insane.
3. Made a decision to have our loved ones and friends turn their wills and their lives over to our care even though they couldn't understand us at all.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of everyone we know.
5. Admitted to the whole world at large the exact nature of everyone else's wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to make others straighten up and do right.
7. Demanded others to either shape up or ship out.
8. Made a list of all persons who had harmed us and became willing to go to any lengths to get even with them.
9. Got direct revenge on such people wherever possible, except when to do so would cost us our own lives or at the very least a jail sentence.
10. Continued to take the inventory of others and when they were wrong, promptly and repeatedly told them about it.
11. Sought through acting and nagging to improve our relations with others as we could not understand them, asking only that they knuckle and under and do things our way.
12. Having had a complete physical, emotional and spiritual breakdown as the result of these steps, we tried to blame it on others and to get sympathy and pity in all our affairs.
