Waiting for My Christmas Cookie

Here is a photo of Buddy (the senior Golden Retriever) Juliet, Nico and Bella (the cockapoos) waiting patiently for a Christmas cookie. It's easy to get them in a sit-stay when you promise them a delicious cookie for a reward!

Isn't that exactly like life?  When there is a reward for our hard work, we are happy to do the job.  For some people the reward is only about the money.  For others gratification of doing a good job is important....because the job that they do represents who they are. It's about integrity and accountability and not turning a blind eye to that which you know is wrong.

So what motivates people to do the wrong thing?  That's my quandary for today as I delve deeper into the psyche's of some of my more colorful characters.  I'm going to a small house today in a tiny village....a house where only departed souls linger to tell the truth.
