7     PRINCIPLES OF PURPOSE Part 2

4. WHERE PURPOSE IS NOT KNOWN, ABUSE IS INEVITABLE

When purpose of a thing is not known, you will abuse it. If you don’t know the purpose of a spouse, you will abuse him. The man must provide and the wife should support. Responsibility is the ability to respond.  If you don’t know the purpose of children, you will abuse them. 

You only spank children when authority is contested. Make it clear to them, when you are correcting them, and don’t beat in anger. Find out the purpose of everything and everybody in your life.
