Punishment also includes judgmental labeling and the withholding of privileges.

Get very clear about the kind of world we would like and then start living that way.

Plans to exact retribution are never going to make us safer.

Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.

All people ever say is: THANK YOU (a celebration of life) and PLEASE (an opportunity to make life more wonderful).

It may be most difficult to empathize with those we are closest to.

The punitive use of force tends to generate hostility and to reinforce resistance to the very behavior we are seeking.
