I am working through the book and, perhaps it is just me, but the inventory questions (first inventory) seem to be repetitive?

Example: Suffering is the stress created by craving for more./ Suffering is never having enough to feel satisfied. Suffering is feeling ashamed of ones actions/Suffering is feeling unworthy.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it as I have a tendency to do but has anyone worked through this inventory that can tell me if these aren't, in fact, the same question?

I just don't feel like I know how to answer them.

what are the questions, Rebel?
what i see so far are statements, and each one is stating a differnt cause of suffering.

Questions 1 and 2 are Suffering is the stress created by craving for more./ Suffering is never having enough to feel satisfied.

This is basically the same question, rephrased.

Same with questions 3 and 4: Suffering is feeling ashamed of ones actions/Suffering is feeling unworthy.

Yes. There are multiple repetitions within the RR inventories. No big whup, right?
No one is grading it. Inventories are ultimately just tools to increase self honesty and awareness. -something that should come along naturally if you meditate with good intent and effort.

Show up. Meditate. Talk. Don't use. Don't sweat the inventories. The program is solid without them.
