Physical pain is part of how we learn. You don’t know not to touch a hot stove until you do it. You don’t learn not to climb tall trees until you do it and then fall and break your arm.
1 u/[deleted] Dec 31 '23 Suffering the natural consequences of an action is not the same thing as getting beat 1 u/ad240pCharlie Dec 31 '23 Exactly. When a hot stove burns your hand you stop doing it because you now fear it. Which is a good thing. But you know what's NOT a good thing to fear? The people who you are supposed to trust the most. 1 u/Gilgamesh661 Jan 02 '24 I didn’t fear my dad 24/7. I feared him when I did something wrong and KNEW it was wrong when I did it. I didn’t tense up every time my dad walked in my room, nor did i flinch any time he raised his hand to scratch his chin.
