I could give a rats ass if I am rewarded for my actions. Rewards do not motivate me. They do not feel good enough, they are not adequate enough to compensate for the pain required to endure for them. Frankly, I don't even understand what the term "motivation" even means.
It's easy for me to not be motivated when I sit on my ass every day, all day... get served like royalty and have everything taken care of for me. It leaves me all the time in the world to really contemplate what the ###$ life is all about. When all my primitive needs are managed, then what more is there to life? Someone tell me?
