Passage Summary: A moral code says you only get credit for being good if it was hard to do, but then it also says you get credit for doing good things automatically out of habit.

Reasoning: One part of the moral system requires a struggle against temptation for an act to be praiseworthy, while another part allows habitual (effortless) good acts to be praiseworthy.

Analysis: The conflict here is between 'effort' and 'habit.' If praise requires overcoming temptation, then a habit—which is by definition something done without a fresh struggle—shouldn't be praiseworthy. To reconcile this, we need a way to link habits back to the initial struggle of overcoming temptation. It is as if the system wants to reward both the current battle and the veteran who already won the war. Look for an answer that suggests habits are praiseworthy because they were originally formed through the very struggle the first rule requires.
