And we also learn to judge: We judge ourselves, judge other people, judge the neighbors.
Children are domesticated the same way that we domesticate a dog, a cat, or any other animal.
In order to teach a dog we punish the dog and we give it rewards.
We train our children whom we love so much the same way that we train any domesticated animal: with a system of punishment and reward.
We are told, “You’re a good boy,” or “You’re a good girl,” when we do what Mom and Dad want us to do.
When we don’t, we are “a bad girl” or “a bad boy.”
When we went against the rules we were punished; when we went along with the rules we got a reward.
We were punished many times a day, and we were also rewarded many times a day.
Soon we became afraid of being punished and also afraid of not receiving the reward.
The reward is the attention that we got from our parents or from other people like siblings, teachers, and friends.
We soon develop a need to hook other people’s attention in order to get the reward.
The reward feels good, and we keep doing what others want us to do in order to get the reward.
