If you feel something is right and beneficial to you....

Should you need to be bribed to do what you feel is right and beneficial?

@RogueLoner Good morning! :)
Once I am aware of something, I like to make an informed choice. Bribing or pushing something on me just says it's not so great on it's own.

are you dealing with an aging parent? This is the battle i had with my dad alllllll the time.

You need a hearing aid
What?
You need a hearing aid.
I don’t want a shearing blade.

Why are you yelling??

OK …. if you get a hearing aid, I’ll buy you donuts …. 🙄

@SW-User nah i couldn’t convince him it was right or beneficial to him even after i convinced him to get his hearing aids! LMAO!

SW-User

@DoubleRings Ha! :) This was meant to be that your dad would already feel it was needed and beneficial. Not that you were trying to convince him. :)

he likes donuts 🍩 @SW-User

Nope. if you have to bribe an adult to do something that is “beneficial” then maybe we ought to question that.

SW-User

@cherokeepatti LOL agreed!

SweetMae · 70-79, F

No. I don't believe that.

SW-User

@SweetMae Same here. If I honestly felt something was worth having or doing, I wouldn't need a bribe... I'd get 'er done.

SweetMae · 70-79, F

@SW-User Exactly 💯

Elisbch · M

I agree 100% 😊.. @SW-User

BalmyNites · F

No & that is why I’m not doing it 😊

SW-User

@BalmyNites LOL well said!

BalmyNites · F

@SW-User Thanks 😁

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

Depends on what it is tbh. If it’s something that goes out of my character or some thing that’s going to end up jeopardizing my life well yeah I’m gonna need a bonus or something 😅

SW-User

@TurtlePink If it jeapordizes your life, it's most likely not beneficial. Just how I see it. :)

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

@SW-User Oh you’re right. I must’ve skipped over that

SW-User

@TurtlePink Lol Thank you for adding your thoughts. :)

CantExplain · 61-69, M

No, no bribing necessary. I wouldn’t want to hang around a person who needs to be bribed; they wouldn’t be much of a trustworthy companion

SW-User

@CantExplain Understood. I'd hate to think a bribe is a deciding factor on something important.

CantExplain · 61-69, M

@SW-User It’s a red flag warning ⚠️!!

If I feel something is right and beneficial to me, there's no [i]need[/i] for me to be bribed. It's what I would do.

And besides, you can't bribe me, [i]anyway. [/i]

SW-User

@PhoenixPhail Yep. I can't be bribed either. If I honestly think something is right for me, I'll do it for that reason.

Heartlander · 80-89, M

No.

LunarOrbit · 56-60, M

A bribe if I need motivation.

I seem to be lacking that most days…but I do get everything done if that makes sense

Ingwe · F

if you feel it is for your benefit and right
you say TY to the one who showed you the way

SW-User

@Ingwe Showing the way is not really the same as having to bribe a person to do something they already feel is good.

{@breezeybree ] no far from it no bribery need i do what my conscience is the right thing

4meAndyou · F

Never. The day someone has to pay me to do the right thing is the day I turn in my halo...😉🤣😇😇😇
