Tonight, Wednesday night, April 22, 2009, we count fourteen days, which is two weeks of the Omer.
Day Seven of Week 2 (14th day of the omer)
Malchut of Gevurah
Discipline, like love, must enhance personal dignity (see week one day seven). Discipline that breaks a person will backfire. Healthy discipline should bolster self-esteem and help elicit the best in a person; cultivating his sovereignty. And that does not compromise the discipline; on the contrary it fosters and enhances it. Does my discipline cripple the human spirit; does it weaken or strengthen me and others?
Exercise for the day: When disciplining your child or student foster his self-respect.
