Hey Jesslaves!
Are you a slave to the system or do you just play by the rules? We have rules for everything some are just physical limitations while others are man-made like morality, religion, etiquette, games, language, and family governance.
Rules can be followed, bent, broken, ignored they're really don't matter, they only make things interesting and give us a line in the sand where we can argue from, a vantage point if you will. Rules are indeed helpful, they keep a lot of society in check when you consider the power of free will, rules are indeed needed.
Rules need a reward
The issue with rules is no one is going to follow them without some sort of reward being attached to them. You get an award, money, something you find valuable for following the rules so as soon as people find ways to reward themselves for breaking the rules, the rules will be broken.
We are a rewards-based system of thinking, everything we do or don't do is based on how to get some sort of reward, that really is the number 1 rule.
A time for games
A game without prestige and reward is not a game worth playing. In today's modern world with the introduction of technology, we're able to hack this reward system and get anything we want instantly and overstimulate our pleasure sensors. We start to devalue reward as we attain it so easily and instead of looking to push on we can simply find ourselves in a reward rut content with routine.
I play for keeps
Speaking of gamification I recently hit a rep of 65 on here and a UA of over 4. Looks like I'm starting to get some respect around here.
First, you get the money, then you get the respect, I guess all I'm missing is power and women right?
Scarface of steemit here I come!
