Discipline and Fear : The Young India

Kartikey Sehgal

Discipline is to do with fear. Basically we fear what we should do with our time and so we invent discipline. With discipline there is no fear as to what we have to do with our time. Though I am not fearful, I had decided to use this time for other kinds of writing but I am now writing on fear and discipline

So discipline should come from within. You should be bothered as to what you are going to do with time so that you make discipline. External discipline is then useless; it is at least not as useful as internal discipline. With external discipline fear persists and it is not lessened; the fear of punishment; of verbal abuse and more.

Nature is disciplined. The river flows and trees grow on the banks. Pollination of flowers. I imagine that discipline is a state of human misery. As living beings we should naturally be disciplined, which means that we should be doing the things we like. If we do the things that we like then we won’t make trouble for others and we will learn from others’ lives. But we are brought to misery by people tampering with our nature, i.e. instilling fear in us, and to get rid of the fear we have to invent discipline. We have to be disciplined to achieve our natural state of creative existence.
