J

"When I must punish him,
he becomes all the more a part of my being"
- The Judge by Rabindranath Tagore.

I finally knew what these mean when I had to punish J, the apple of my eye today.
I finally understood how Mdm Wong must have felt 8 years ago, when I was punished.

But his maturity, understanding,
and humbleness to this matter,
and willingness to make amends,
convince me why he's still the apple of my eye,
and like a younger brother to me which I never had.
