discipline

I very much like disciplined people. Kids who have been brought up in disciplinary environments know how to respect and appreciate principles of life.
When they grow up, those kids learn that all those principles are false, incomplete, or non-existent. But they have learned to order and control their lives.
This life-time process has helped them a little bit to find out how they are.
The maturely disciplined person is not necessarily obedient to regulations they haven’t adopted. They are not soldiers or slaves. And they are not criticizers, but they are rigid with themselves.
Discipline and freedom are not contradicting. Artists who are the most liberal and progressive part of society are very much disciplined. Do you know any actor or instrument performer who is not disciplined? Not to mention dance, the art most associated with discipline.
