Summary

This quote suggests that it is logical and evident through both common sense and historical examples that providing incentives or recognition for engaging in illegal activities will ultimately result in the proliferation of such behavior. By rewarding individuals who partake in illegal acts, it creates a precedent that encourages others to follow suit, as they perceive that they will also be incentivized in some way. Thus, this statement implies that instead of rewarding illegal behavior, it is necessary to establish consequences and discourage such actions in order to maintain a just and lawful society.

It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one
