Though it doesn’t seem so, people are rewarded and punishment, however, the reward is almost always reserved for the messianic era, hence those people who do evil ironically are often rewarded for their good deeds, with prosperity and honor in this world, and the punishment is always reserved for a hell, which they say, no suffering in the world can compare even to a drop of suffering of hell or to hell on earth in a future lifetime (which is actually a kindness, for a bit of suffering on this world is compared to a lot in the next.)
