Reply To: A question about being self- centered

After thinking about this a bit more, I realized that there is also a major difference between the following:

I am doing a good deed because G-d said so.

I am doing a good deed because I love G-d, and want to show my love by following His commands.

We should strive to be in the latter group. And I don’t think teaching our children the first method would be too beneficial. What do you all think of this distinction?
