by Thrill KillWhen I was a kid my mother used to make my brother and I clean motel rooms after school and she never paid us for it. So, we both ended up stealing money from the motel (not together. We did that individually). In my mind, that wasn't a mistake, since I wasn't getting paid to work I figured I earned the right to steal it.
When my mother found out we were stealing money, I blamed my brother for it all and she beat the shit out of him over it, because in her mind it was a mistake.
this sounds a lot like how they raised their kids in ancient sparta
they grew up pretty all right too for their purposes for that day & age
in ancient sparta individual meant nothing state was every thing
