I imagine these quiet moments with your thoughts before your bait thread gets replies must be particularly awful.

Human action is molded by the incentive models of the organizational system they are participating in. These incentives include also disincentives, so while you may have had experiences receiving a financial reward for encouraged behavior, you are likely to have experienced a painful result from behaving in a manner that is discouraged.

Yes. Our own pain and suffering is like a currency that you use to pay back the karma you have accrued over many lifetimes. Once all your karma is eliminated, and transformed into virtue, you cycle of reencarnation ends, and you may leave this plane.

It's more 'capacity to make another person feel pain' which translates to 'force'. Pretty much spot on.
Fiat is backed by force, the ultimate currency.
