Ovid believed that people tend to value and appreciate good deeds more when there is a reward involved. Ovid likely thought this because humans are motivated by self-interest and desire tangible benefits and recognition for their efforts.
So without a reward, people may be less inclined to go out of their way to help others or do good things. The reward provides positive reinforcement for moral behavior.
