Young children would rather explore than get rewards: Young children will pass up rewards they know they can collect to explore other options, a study suggested. Researchers found that when adults and 4- to 5-year-old children played a game where certain choices earned them rewards, both adults and children quickly learned what choices would give them the biggest returns. But while adults then used that knowledge to maximize their prizes, children continued exploring the other options. (1)

It all depends on what we believe a reward is.

Ask weird questions.

Question definitions.

Can we seek loss instead of reward?

Can you seek what punishes us instead of rewarding us?

Can we seek pain instead of pleasure?

You see…

It all depends on what we believe a reward is.

It all depends on the definitions we use.

But what is the actual definition of something?

But what it actually is?

Search your heart.

You know it to be true.

Or false…

There!

Where is my reward now?
