Things
have changed!
Teachers
are fearful to reprimand their students.
Parents
are paralyzed to make them accountable, uncertain to make an error; in fear of
the law should they give them a good licking.
Thus,
with no discipline, or God, there is no cultivating of values, faith, love and
patience: it all becomes a washout.
When
I was young, it was said, and it was used, ‘To spare the rod, is to spoil the
child’ …
And
what has society created?
Parents
that are exasperating, with exasperating children, whom soon will become exasperating
parents.
Pope
Francis agrees in tone, that ‘…many difficulties often impede parents’ ability
to educate their children (and
remember children become parents).
And
I believe he infers: the less time you spend with your children, the longer the
need becomes to meeting their needs.
And
what are needs, if not discipline! To teach restraint.
No
discipline, equals, a license to do at will, whatever you wish.
For
myself, I wonder who the hostage here is.
