20232 | Get rid of the idea of punishment! It is a noxious weed! [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: People of diligence and goodwill, lend a hand in the one work of eradicating from the face of the earth the concept of punishment, which has overrun the whole world! There is no more noxious weed! | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Dawn (Daybreak) [1881], 013) | |
A reaction: Nietzsche never tried his hand at school teaching or parenting or running a youth club. But I still love this idea. In really good families I suspect that punishment is almost unknown. |
