There are many more instructive pairings of words that are useful in understanding the larger picture. for instance the words, violence and violation, also ignorance and ignore. The words disciple and discipline are not positive and negative variations on the root, they are interpreted differently because they have been misused, and the original meaning has become obscure. Think of the meaning of discipline, not in the context of a beating, but in the context of a discipline being a practice. It is something engaged in to better the self. We practice because we want to get better at something. The modern meaning of discipline has been bound together with enforcement. The concepts are separate unless there is force involved, this is apparent in the connection between enforcement and force. Each word has a meaning in context if we lose the meaning it is always instructive to go back to the root and find other words to inform on the nature of the lost meaning.

Strangely enough, the word "discipline" does not appear in English usage until 1200 years after Christ popularized the notion of "disciple" as a pupil or student. When "discipline" first appeared, it already meant a harsh punishment, generally physical in nature such as flagellation. Although the Latin root does mean "instruction" or "teaching" it has a military connotation and found its way into English by way of the French "descepline" which referred to physical punishment, even martyrdom.

The meaning is still similar. The teacher or the student, or both believed that they were improving the self by the practice of self flagellation. The Dominicans did not burn people at the stake out of malice, ostensibly, they believed that this was the only way to improve the chances of certain people of getting into heaven, so they were doing it for the good. They were just misinformed. The self flagellation is much the same. That is why it is 'self' flagellation. If it were simply flagellation, or punishment, then someone else would be doing it.

When I discovered I was pregnant with my first child, I read every book I could get my  hands on, because I wanted to be the best mother I possibly could. Most of those books described discipline in such a way that it was really behavioral conditioning in the vein of BF Skinner.  While my intentions were good, the resulting  emotional damage suffered by my children was not. My hope is that these posts will reach people who have good intentions but are doing harm inadvertently, and help them to find a better way.
