		<description>On the contrary I&#039;ve been slapped three times as a result of which, I should say by Amma&#039;s grace I realised as to what it feels to be insulted. Hence I dont try to insult anybody in any manner or hurt their feelings. Maybe Amma wanted me to learn this lesson.</description>

		<description>Yes. I used to fight with my brothers and schoolmates when I was young.  I used to beat my daughters when they do something wrong but the next moment I say sorry to them. Only one episode I dont regret that is when I was studying in 3rd standard one of my classmates used to trouble me a lot (even today I remember his name - Subramanian). Physically he was much smaller to me. Whenever he saw me he gave a slap on my face. One day with all my courage I started slapping him back. It was like carpet bombing!! After that he became a very good friend of mine.</description>

		<description>Regarding slapping children, the answers seem to go both ways.  It appears like one devotee is saying yes, it&#039;s ok even by Amma.  For others, it seems wrong, always - and they too think that is what Amma wants. I am wondering what is the correct answer.  Sin or ok in certain situations.</description>

		<description>Yes, I have slapped youngsters in the area where I used to live.This was during my age of 8 - 15 yrs. I was very hot tempered and couldn&#039;t control my anger. This continued throughout my school days with no further regret. However once I got everything back one day from a group of guys in that area. This was a lesson to me by Amma. Thankfully to Amma i received the Fruits of my Bad Karma by an early age. I have never slapped anybody after that incident. I now know that if ever I slap anybody it will come back to me soon.</description>

		<description>Oh yes I slapped my brother many times but he did also! We slapped each other. I also slapped dogs ... I haven&#039;t thought about regret but of course I have never again slapped anyone in a long time, just because I am loving existence now! In a way this shows regret...I guess!</description>

		<description>Yes, i have slapped people many times especially in school when someone ticks me off. I used to be a gangster-type in school! But in the last many years my forebearance has improved, and i do feel sorry for many of the people. As a matter of fact, some of us are still friends!!</description>
