I think contemporary society shaped by the focus on the self and we have a belief in our own self importance-and I am just as guilty of this as others. We often take a victim mentality when things happen to us and afterwards we seek out ways to shield ourselves from things that hurt us. During my schooling I was caned four times and spanked with the ruler twice. Three out of my four canings involved “six of the best” and looking back three of the four canings were very much deserved. Looking back the stinging bottoms I suffered through and the marks that that lasted for a few days afterwards were not the end of the world.
