Rewarded means do good

Ted Seeber said...
Yes, but we mustn't do evil, because it restricts itself -the freedom to do evil. As long as we do good, we keep on having two freedoms -freedom to do good or evil. Therefore we need to do good.Not always true, look at the evil done during the credit crisis in the United States- the majority of those doing the evil have actually been *rewarded* for the behavior.

Let's try to think about the matter from slightly different point of view.Some ordinary people sometimes do evil out of the feeling he has a right to do evil, observing many others do the same thing. For example, ignoring traffic signal, speed limit, or tax evasion, etc. People sometimes do evil as these. They have been rewarded from those acts. In this case we notice law is not an absolute rule that regulates what is right or wrong. People are actually doing the right thing by violating the written code. It is not evil what people did in the credit crisis and rewarded from that. Because they thought it a right - entitlement to do something.Really bad people do evil not from the feeling of entitlement, but an obligation. Very different.
