Repeated punishment, while it crushes the hatered of a few, stirs the hatered of all…..just as trees that have been trimmed throw out again countless branches

Nassim Taleb, Antifragile

When you want to stop a horse you can not pull the reins forever. If you want to stop you pull a bit and then let go and after a while you do it again…… and the horse comes to a halt! In this book Nassim mentions that if you take small doses of a substance over time your body stays immune to additional larger quantities of it (poison). I guess if you punish to often your kids after a while they became immune. We don't want that.
