An Internal Phenomenon

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

When you do a good deed, do you do it for the reward or do you do it because you know you’re doing a good thing? Some people do things and don’t expect a reward out of it. Those are the truly good people. Some people do it out of knowing they’re getting something in return. The best feeling is knowing you did something good and that is the best reward. Feeling good inside and knowing you made someone happy or just doing a good thing. Does there have to be a reward? Does getting something in return encourage people to do the right thing? It honestly shouldn’t. Why does it matter if you get a reward for doing something good? Just knowing you did something good because you wanted to is the best feeling/reward you can receive.
