Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.
