Considering that I'm a grown man, I have the hindsight to understand that I have never been beaten by my parents, who are long dead.

Did I experience physical discipline as a child? Absolutely. I learned incredibly valuable lessons that I will never forget.

The world at large has caused much more irreparable damage to me, primarily due to my resistance of my parents attempts to teach me how to conduct myself in a proper manner in a cruel, unforgiving society.

I regret nothing other than taking so long to accept discipline and instructions from two parents who wished nothing more than for me to excel in this harsh environment. I miss them dearly.

I mean are you actually happy with being beat or are you just justifying it because you love you parents? If you dig down, I think you’d realize that beating kids only makes them into angry adults. Do you have as much emotional reserves as you want or treat people as well as you wish you were treated? Can you honestly be there for someone without flying into a rage on their behalf?
