Reward Me - I Will Be Nice

If you’ve been reading my extended posts, you will notice that I am being overly critical at society at large. And for good reason though. For instance, this news release back in March, where the mayor announced incentives for poor families in New York city for being nice. What?
Are we humans or dogs? We reward a dog for being nice. You know! Tommy takes a leak in the toilet. Tommy gets treats. Why should a parent be rewarded to attend an obligatory parent teacher meeting? Why should a parent be rewarded to insure that they send their kids to school everyday?
The city of New York has raised at last update close to $42 million so poor folks can behave. You know what? Ask my parents who raised us in the Desouza family how they’d reward us for going to school everyday, doing our homework on time or doing what was right. That was our duty. Nothing short of which was expected. And if we failed, we knew what the consequences were.
Tony Robbins was right when he said, “We live in a therapy culture.” - Do anything you want and then we will sympathize with you and find ways to reform you. Now that I am grown up, I’d be mighty ashamed if my parents had skipped on meeting my teachers to see how I was doing at school. I’d be mighty ashamed if my parents had gotten paid to see if I went to school everyday. My parenrts did not have the grace of his honor Mr Bloomberg and his pitiful ideas to benefit from. They worked 2 jobs, worked 15 hours a day so they could send the kids to convent school and put food on the table.
No one should be rewarded to attend to their kids future. No one should be rewarded to hold down a full time job so they could feed the family. No one should be rewarded for turning around neglect and carelessness out of disregard for your own family.
There should BE no compensation to do the right thing. When will the people in charge begin to apply discipline and punishment in place of sending out rewards to reform slackers?
Mr Bloomberg and New York City - Shame on you! Get a whip and a stick. Take away privileges for bad behavior than reward them for it. Incentives like these does not instill pride and self esteem in people.
$42 million could be well spent on other much needed uses.
