🌟Discipline is the cultivation of resistance. We are taught to resist the temptations of laziness or play by pitting one thing against another. However, the more we fight against something or reject it, the less we comprehend it.
If you fight against a vice without comprehending it, it will return when you let your guard down. Only in the complete absence of discipline, in true freedom, does the flash of insight arise in the mind.
Creative freedom cannot exist within a rigid framework. We need freedom to explore on our own, to analyze without fear of reprimand or the strictures of discipline. Frightened students will never be able to think for themselves.
A fundamental education teaches us to reconcile order with freedom: order without freedom is tyranny, and freedom without order is anarchy.
