It urges humans to go beyond their comfort level and aim for a bigger goal. Whilst, on the contrary, over gratification acts as Negative Reinforcement. It suppresses the pre-existent human urge to achieve. And, puts them into an Identity Crisis of being "𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈". This comparison can be ...
