"There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences." Robert Ingersoll
As a human species, being of reasoning minds we tend think of ourselves above all other forms of nature. We don't accept the just because our seed blew in the wind to a southern face of the mountain where the survival is least likely. We uproot out plant and move it to the location of most significant advantage to our survival.
But, I question, do we take implementation of "rewards" and "punishment" too seriously? Are "natural" consequences often enough in many cases to teach the needed lesson. Do "rewards" over feed our minds with a superficial prize and detract us from true joys of life?
Hmmmm! Any thoughts?
Love you all,
Jacky
