Ever read a story where the hero wins in the end...but you kinda wish they didn't?
That's because the hero didn't earn their reward.
Instinctively, we know what's fair and what isn't. If the hero pays a small price but cashes in big, that's not fair. Equally unfair is if the hero pays a huge price but someone else cashes in, or the reward is tiny in comparison.
Rewards can be earned by:
- learning
- sacrifice
- commitment
Has your hero/heroine earned their reward?
