Punishment

[David]

Egads...punishment... just to add my take on what’s already been said... it seems that punishment, is just a narcissistic manifestation, that just sucks the being out of life - the overlords of entropy seem to like that sort of thing... though were all STS, and suffering in various forms seems part and parcel of that. lessons it would seem... till we learn...

Here’s the only session I could find regarding punishment, maybe it might be helpful...
