Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently.

The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is what happened on the banks.
