On the African continent and the Far East they don’t seem to have the hang-ups about corporal punishment that we do in the West. Boys and Lads get punished when they have stepped out of line or been disobedient to their Fathers or school teachers. Respect is taught via discipline. This method is continued into the Service industries and the Forces as the ultimate punishment and is used to great effect.

Here we see a South African Father punishing his son.

Without discipline, how on Earth is a boy supposed to learn the difference between right and wrong? Without the guiding hand of his own Father and our spiritual Father, how is he supposed to know when he has stepped out of line and must be corrected?

‘Spare the rod and spoil the child’, never was a truer word spoken. A boy must have his discipline.
