I just watched a mother beat her eight year old son with a belt. They were in a shopping centre. Not only was her son embarrassed he was also physically hurting.
I was tempted to intervene but recognized that if I did it would have made it worse.
Without being holier than thou I am grateful that I am able to see that this punishment does not work.
I pray for a planet filled with people who stop using punishment attached to ego in the name of justice.
