See http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2006/12/in_which_i_cont.html . She made "No calculation" one of her "12 personal commandments." We don't realize just how much scorekeeping we do every day and how much unhappiness it brings. I'm a prime offender there... Gretchen Rubin wrote about this on her “Happiness Project” blog.

Thank you. It’s a shame we can’t be born as smart as we are now. :) But I guess better late than never, right?

But you're right; it's a lesson learned with age. In youth, we think we have the right to all these expectations of people. And we really don't. Really well put.

And I still believe that if you deliver more than you've promised that it will come back to you, with the opposite being true - that if you cheat (and lie and steal too), it will also come back to you. I might not live that long, but I'm happier with myself in the end and can hopefully pass the karma onto someone younger.

I gave up long ago trying to deal with scorecards because I always felt on the short end of things..wasn't worth it and no one else seemed to understand why I was upset.
