If affection is a scarce resource, contestants must win the right to a bit of the scare resource. Anybody who offers affection to non-contestants will then be perceived as undermining the motivating forces of the society; and so as a threat to the society. People who are not starved for affection/recognition---will not compete properly for the recognition given to winners. It must be recognized that a non-affectionate society will only rarely overtly offer affection as the reward to be earned by the winner of a competition. It is likely to be too inhibited a society to do that. The society is more likely to offer only formal recognitions without any honest affection. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in www.essayz.com Search for Integrity and Honesty (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
