Totally disagree about the last part. The more pain we suffer now, the longer the lesson will last.

More evidence of the pervasive political attitude that’s “science-based” but more like modern day fundamentalist fire-and-brimstone “anyone smiling wrought all the suffering in the world” Christianity.

That's not how psychology of pain works.

I don't need to hold my hand in a fire to know not to touch fire again.

Giving someone pain/suffering to teach them a lesson is just abuse.

You personally don’t... but look around... A lot of people are playing with fire
