Assuming a rational, human agent, are there any worthwhile behavior heuristics which lead to statements that follow this pattern: “This behavior will not be ok for me in the future, and has never been ok for me in the past”?

In terms of effectiveness at changing behavior, our friends in the religious conspiracy got at least one thing right: “love the sinner, hate the sin.”
