Internalized rule

For some reason most people seem to grow up believing life is fair.

Good people get rewarded for their behavior and bad people get punished.

Then it’s a very sad realization as an adult to see bad things happen to good people.

Maybe it’s how we’re raised as kids. When you do something good, you get a treat and we unknowingly apply this to the world and get very frustrated when it does comply with our internalized rule.
