Why People behave the way they do

Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure.... They govern us in all that we do, in all we say, in all we think. And why is this so.... Because every human, right from the time they are young, are governed by EGO. It is this ego which allows us to feel the pleasure and the pain.   So a person's behavior actually has a lot to do with the association  of pleasure or pain to a certain act. This is exactly what we use when we want to train a dog, isn't it. While training our pet, he always gets rewarded for a good act and gets punished for a wrong act. Human beings are not very much different in this way. But the only difference is that human beings relate to what has happened in the past in relation to the pleasure or pain derived from a given act. A  lot of fears and phobias can be removed just by going into the history of the person's life and  what are his associations with his own past.
