Rule 5 is pretty interesting.
Talking about the necessity of correcting/disciplining your children (using minimum necessary force) rather than letting them get away with things that build up resentment in yourself and more importantly, the other people around them.

Or else they will get indirectly punished more harshly by your own built up resentment, and/or by the world (which is much less forgiving) around them.

"It is not virtuous to be victimized by a bully, even if that bully is oneself." - pg 59

"So, here's a proposition: perhaps it is not simply the emergence of self-consciousness and the rise of our moral knowledge of Death and the Fall that besets us and makes us doubt our own worth. Perhaps it is instead our unwillingness—reflected in Adam's shamed hiding—to walk with God, despite our fragility and propensity for evil." - pg 57

"Chaos is freedom, dreadful freedom" - Rule 2 p36
