... people who choose to live a life without ethics have no incentive to
change what they are doing no matter how harmful it is.
For some people,
a little discipline (punishment) goes a long way and corrects behavior. For
others, the cost of the discipline (punishment) must substantially exceed the
benefit of the crime before change occurs.
And for what I hope are the
very few, no level of disciplinary action works. And so to protect Society, one
has no choice but to imprison for life.
Discipline: The practice of training
people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct
disobedience
Personally, I prefer discipline to contain both positive and
negative reinforcements. Reward good behavior, punish bad
behavior.
Revenge: The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for a
wrong suffered at their hands
Some people see no difference between the two
definitions. As the saying goes:
it's all in the thought
One can
discipline without feeling the negative emotions associated with anger. But one
can never achieve revenge without negative emotions surrounding anger being
involved.
