“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

This quote means that when you choose the right, you always feel good inside and it benefits you mentally. When you choose to do what you know is right, you bring up your self-esteem and feel good about yourself even more. You feel good for choosing to do what’s right over what’s wrong. You also show that you have dignity to choose between right and wrong and still choose what’s right. People notice that you’re honest and have strong morals to know what’s right and what isn’t. You demonstrate self-respect as well. You make decisions based on what’s wrong and right while thinking of others and not just yourself. People look up to others like this and would rather want to have people like this in their lives. Unlike someone who chooses the wrong and does what they’re not suppose to, these are the kind of people that others want to stay away from. They will only bring negative actions and consequences into your life.
