That...uh. Well, that you have to say, "you deserve to be considered good"...who decides what's deserved? I hear the word and think, if I'd done something "wrong" and put that much stake in thinking I deserved...to not be punished after a while? It'd only make me fear that I didn't have the right of it after all. Deserving is something other people choose for you. I can't see it as anything but a torment, really.

[...Honestly it's probably a heaping serving of religious anxiety that's sitting behind this kind of attitude but there you have it.]

But that you can say it so firmly must mean it has some power, regardless of what I believe. So don't take it too much to heart.
