Day 241: Punishment and Reward

In the concept of right and wrong, people don't usually weigh in their actions according to their inner mentality or own perspective of morality, they weigh in on laws, consequences and how the society would perceive them. The subjectivity of right and wrong will always be in the conversation however, the concept of punishment and reward is objective.  Facing consequences for the wrong deeds and taking rewards for the right ones is the subconscious decision maker of everyone. Consequently, what if one may never face the consequences of one's action? Will that individual still thrive of being "good" in his own way or will he do things that are unacceptable in every aspect of the society? Does social conformity and reputation place above one's view on right and justice?
