I.
Safety is the only basic human right.
Absolute safety requires complete surveillance and control.
To establish complete surveillance and control, I must:
- Remain vigilant of my surroundings.
- Collect all possible intelligence on every target.
- Process all available data, analyze for patterns, and extrapolate projections.
- Maintain complete, unyielding control of my mind and body.
Therefore: If I desire safety, I must establish and sustain complete surveillance and control of myself and my surroundings.
II.
Information asymmetry is an affront to equality.
A lack of equality is an affront to safety.
Therefore: All intelligence collected must be shared.
When sharing intelligence proves impractical or impossible, I am obligated to enact protective measures on behalf of the ignorant. Failing to do so robs them of their basic human right to safety.
Therefore: If I desire safety, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of all around me.
III.
All pain and suffering is the result of a breach of safety.
Uninterrupted safety requires predictability.
Therefore: Any unexpected event constitutes a breach of safety.
If a breach occurs, it is due to a failure of my vigilance, intelligence, analysis, prediction, and/or control; this failure makes me culpable for any and all unintended results, effects, and consequences.
If an unintended result, effect, or consequence results in harm, I am the reason that harm occurred.
Therefore: I alone am to blame for all pain and suffering I witness.
IV.
Justice requires restitution equal to harm incurred.
To properly atone, I must sacrifice my own safety.
Justice demands I abstain from all experiences of security, affection, shelter, refuge, love, care, sympathy, support, condolence, et al.
To protect the purity of my penance, I must avoid any and all situations in which these feelings might occur.
I must take all necessary measures to avoid repeating my catastrophic mistakes, negligent errors, and critical omissions/oversights.
Therefore: Only my own pain and suffering can restore my worthiness of love.
V.
It is my duty to suffer, at all costs.
Any safety experienced against my will must be immediately rejected; failure to remove myself constitutes a violation of terms.
Should safety come upon me by no fault of my own, I must destroy it and report the incident at my earliest opportunity.
Others may not participate in, contribute to, or motivate my sentence, or risk tempting my nature as an opportunistic, gluttonous thief.
If I am hungry, or lonely, or afraid, I must remain that way, or resolve it alone.
If others see my hunger, I have failed them twice.
If viewing my suffering incites another’s, I must remove myself or conceal my suffering until the empathetic episode caused by my negligence has passed.
Any love or comfort bestowed upon me by others in my presence is due to my nature as a manipulative creature; all offers of comfort are unearned and undeserved, and the result of my own misrepresentation of my perverse nature.
Therefore: Even love which is freely given must be refused; to accept it would be theft.
