Children are the gifts of God

Bring up your kids by never beating them up for any faults committed by them. The world is so cruel because many of the births are accidental by the result of cruel, loveless, unplanned union, and we have been bringing up those kids by punishing them physically. A hurt with a harsh word is thousand times worst than a hit with a fist. Never ever use such harsh words also to correct them.
It is not justifiable a 35 year old man physically hurting a 5 year old child even to correct the child. A rough look or a show of disgust is more than enough for a good child to be corrected. Indian culture is a culture of kindness. Indian culture teaches ahimsa, non injury, physically, mentally and emotionally. It preaches against
himsa, hurtfulness."To spare the rod is to spoil the child", is an uncivilized attitude. It's not Indian culture to beat the light out of the eyes of children, to beat the trust out of them, to beat the intelligence out of them and force them to go along with everything in a mindless way and wind up doing a routine, uncreative job the rest of their life, then take their built-up anger out on their children and
beat that generation down to nothingness. This is certainly not the culture of an intelligent future. Remember children are the gifts of God.
