Wolf – Why don’t you learn for schar?

Because it’s not my primary motivation. My primary motivation for learning anything is to know it. It’s just the way I’m wired. When I do a mitzvah, my primary motivation is to do the mitzvah for the sake of doing it — not for any reward I may or may not receive for it.

I’m sorry if that upsets anyone or if anyone views it as heretical.
