A new study suggests that violence leaves long-term scars on children's bodies — not just in bruises on the skin, but also altering their DNA, causing changes that are equivalent to seven to 10 years of premature aging.
King Shlomo, renown as the wisest of kings, said: Spare the rod and spoil the child – an advice that can be taken two ways: is it better to spoil the child or to discipline the child through severity? The Cabala explains this dilemma through an explanation of man and woman.
The Ten Sefirot, also known as the Tree of Life, is set upon three pillars; the right side is male with the attribute of Chesed/Kindness and the left side is female with the attribute of Gevorah/Severity – the center merges to create the child – Rechamin/Compassion.
Yet, woman tends to be more kind and man more severe because, The basis of revelation is the opposite – like a die where that which is protruded becomes convex and that which is in, comes out. Love requires the parent to go beyond what is natural for the welfare of the child.
Severity coming from a hidden love or a love coming from a hidden severity is good for the child. But, violence for violence sake is bad for the parents and bad for the child. All human beings everywhere know compassion is the most important component of being a parent.
