Jack Hunter:
People who do things I don't like are not necessarily bad people. They should not necessarily be punished just because I don' t like what they do or did. There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be. People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be. I cannot control other people or change them. They are who they are: we all deserve basic respect.
Terry Mason:
I can' t solve other people' s problems for them. I don' t have to take on other people' s problems as if they were my own. I don' t need to change other people or fix up their lives. They are capable and can take are of themselves, and can solve their own problems. I can care and be of some help, but I can' t do everything for them.
Jill Torrance:
I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten day, I am the one who allowed it to be that way, If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.
Rip Torn:
I will survive if things are different from what I want them to be.
I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can' t change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. there is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if I don' t like it, I can live with it.
Eddie Jaffe:
I don' t have to be in a certain way because of what has happened in the past. Everyday is a new day. It' s silly to think I can' t help being the way I am. Of course I can change. There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only "best" way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others, but everyone' s ideas are worthwhile, and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute.
