Rewarding para-athletes: It’s not about the money, but the principle
ricky l4 seconds ago
Maybe let see the reward system in this light :-
(1) For able bodied Olympics, Schooling is competing with 6 billion able bodied people and won gold. Hence, $1m reward.
(2) For para-athletics Olympics, Pin Xiu is competing with 6 million para-bodied people and won gold. Hence, $200k reward.
If Hence, Pin Xiu compete in the normal Olympic and win gold, then she will deserve the $1m reward.
Having say so, Pin Xiu achievement is no mean feat, being disable but yet possess the sterling character and determination to win the Para-Olympic Gold - twice for Singapore.

Another examples :-
(1) If Pin Xiu take a GCE "A" level exam with able and disabled candidates and achieve 5 As to become a top student. She will deserve the reward of the 5 As and the top student in the "A" level co-hort.
However, if Pin Xiu scored a 3 As and become a top student in the school of disabled but come in 3rd in the overall "A" level co-hort --- then Pin Xiu will just be 3rd and deserve the reward of 3rd and not 1st because it has to be compared to the overall.

Conversely, if Pin Xiu break the normal Olympic record or the Para-bodied people is 6 billion whereas the able bodied people is 6 million people, then Pin Xiu should deserve the reward of $1 million isn't it?
This is in accordance to Universal Law of Karma.

Material reward - is contingent to material outcome ---- this is Universal Law of Karma of Physical Attributes.
Intrinsic reward - is contingent to intrinsic outcome - this is Universal Law of Karma of Mental Attributes.
Does it make sense?

Hence Universal Attributes - have 3 wholesome attributes :-
(1) Wisdom attribute - talk about outcome - the work of the Mind.
(2) Compassion attribute - talk about empathy - the work of the Heart.
Both these 2 attributes are anchor on the 3rd attributes --- known as "No-Self".

If conversely, the Universal Law of Karma is wrong then this will be the result :-
(1) If Schooling got $200,000 for winning a normal Olympic record of say 58 second out of 6 billion able people.
(2) If Pin Xiu got $1m for winning a para-Olympic record of say 1 minute out of 6 million disable people.
Then, no one will compete in the normal Olympic. All will want to compete in the Para-Olympic to win the $1m reward.
Thus the Universal Law of Karma is wrong --- isn't it?
Hence this infringe the Universal Law of Karma of the Physical Attributes. (1) Wisdom attribute - talk about outcome - the work of the Mind.

So everyone understand the mechanics of how Universal Law of Karma works?
