I am curious to know why educated people are so ignorant of the facts of
life.

There is a quote from Solomon that says to discipline your child strongly
and physically, saying, "if you beat him with the rod, he will not die."
I appreciate this, and if you can see it, there are two meanings here:
first, a good-natured assurance that you won't kill him; second, the
assurance that by training your child well to discipline himself, you will
save him from death, both spiritually and even physically.

Wake up.  There's still time for you.
