It is sad, but it is often suffering or even the threat of it that motivates us to purge certain bad behaviors from our lives. It would be better if the positive aspects of love would do it. We wait until we get cancer or heart disease before we change our diet and exercise. We wait until our marriage is on the brink of divorce before we wake to the importance of investing in our family. Better to embrace the pain of discipline than the pain of regret.
