Diogenes carries a staff to beat the truant student, as well as to support his tottering form; Jesus scourges the money changers from the temple, The Happy Tutor spanks the idle son of Dynastic Wealth. Do you see any connection here? I would like to think a moral tradition emerges and that you dear reader are the heir, if only as the one beaten for your own good. To subdue the flesh is the work of a lifetime.
