I don't equate discipline to physical pain infliction.

Definition of discipline
1 a : control gained by enforcing obedience or order
b : orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior
c : self-control
2 : punishment
3 : training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character
4 : a field of study
5 : a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity
6 obsolete : instruction
From Mr. Webster
In humans, quite physical pain is involved be it from exercise, corporal punishment, or enforcing mental rigor. |
Thanks for the definition but not sure how that rebuts anything I said if that was the intent. Aside from clearly stating that I (meaning me, my personal belief) don't equate discipline with inflicting physical plain it appears that mr Webster does not either.
