I was driving by some people out on the street corner, and they were holding signs warning of coming judgments. And I realized that a lot of what we’re taught about being a good person comes with or else. Be good, or else. Do this, or else. And so on.
When I think, using because would be more effective. Be good because it can bring happiness. Not, or else you’ll be miserable. Maybe they say the same thing. Just in a different way.
