It reminds me of methods of parenting. We tell our children “if you do what you’re told, then you will get such and such (an ice-cream, stay up late, etc) and if you don’t do such and such you will lose out on something (a trip, a playdate etc”. We need to be taught through external motivators the value of listening. These motivators are tangible rewards. The idea of being good being it’s own reward may be too distant for us to comprehend initially. Perhaps it’s the same with shcar v’onesh.
