Discipline, though often bearing punishment, must always cling to the intent to instruct. No punishment, by itself, will ever be able to lead another in the way of wisdom.
If the measure that we punish is greater than the measure of our teaching, then we have forsaken the intent to increase another, and we will have found ourselves embracing cruelty instead.
Only when there are walls exalted against hearing, only when hearts defy understanding, is it the time to till the hardened soil of stubborn minds and rebellious hearts--through authority, strength and always, love.
What is Discipline?
