A simple 4 Step Process:
Step 1) write down a list of the consequences
Step 2) => take this list and eliminate all descriptions of actions
Step 3) Eliminate indirect descriptions of what someone has done: honor, merit, guilt, virtue (and all their derivations); this includes personality descriptions like: beeing a good friend, winner, loser, hero, asshole, slut, murderer
Step 4) Eliminate all "consequences" that are defined as the fulfillment or not-fulfillment of plans/goals
