@BlatantHonesty I do not like the term punishment as that implies someone out there is making me suffer because I broke a rule.
Instead I would substitute "are but suffering." If I eat 2 pancakes I am happy. If I eat 4 pancakes I am overfull. If I eat 6 panckes I am really in pain. Happiness, the way many in the world define it, is often just a reduction in thle level of pain to a tolerable level.
True happiness in my experience is by helping others and avoiding harming them.

@soulsings I learnt from the best💖 (your the best, if that was not clear)😁💖
Oh snap!
@BlatantHonesty
Learning theory teaches us that pleasures withheld are also punishments.
Negative punishment!
