This morning I realized something about my ex g/f
I have absolutely NO idea why I didn’t put this together when I was with her When I was in my last relationship I used to ask myself why was it that my g/f acted like she was spoiled when she grew up not having much so the thing I didn’t get was like.. why did she have the attitude and mindset of a spoiled brat, yet she was next to poor, and didn’t have much of anything growing up it’s not a trick question.. take a minute to see if u can figure it out before you read on Ok did u come up with an answer or did you give up? Here’s the answer… the reason is because she never got the rod The rod has many names.. spankings, whippings, discipline, getting beat, etc This was so simple I don’t know why I didn’t put it together when I was in the relationship You can grow up poor, but if you don’t get the rod of discipline- you will still grow up spoiled and entitled in our American culture, the belief is that children who have a lot are spoiled and children who don’t have a lot are more mature and self-controlled the truth is.. its more about whether you were properly disciplined or not.. this is why it’s possible to see rich children from the burbs who are as humble and polite as you’d ever want a child to be And it’s also possible to see peeps in the hood with nothing who are selfish and entitled and full of complaints.. it kinda makes me wonder if theft is more often a crime committed due to lack or if it is more often a crime committed due to entitlement i.e. “you have something I want so I will take it” Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him. Proverbs 29:17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Rich or poor, if you lacked the above as a child then no wonder you’re a headache as an adult So what I take from this is that when you see an adult who is selfish, entitled, and spoiled in their behavior.. we have to recognize it’s not always about how they were “given everything they wanted as a child” sometimes it’s more about them not getting the proper discipline Which one do you think would be more spoiled in the end A child who is given much but is properly disciplined? Or a child who is given little but is never disciplined? So I now understand why she was next to poor yet still spoiled So don’t associate lack with humility.. because if anything, it can actually serve to make someone even more arrogant than someone who grew up with more substance Because a person who grew up around lack may feel as though they overcame on their own.. which they will oftentimes use as an excuse to embrace an unbridled arrogance
