Beating kids

Sitting on the bus while listening to a businessman in his well dressed formal dress beating his around 2 years old daughter.
Scolding her for crying and beating her to keep her quiet while she keeps shouting for her mum.
Just thought about my parents beating me since young and at 22 right now I'm glad they did.
I'm glad they brought me up this way despite me hating that they did.
It always felt like they didn't love me enough to understand what I've got to say.
But as I'm thinking now, I'm so glad I didn't turn out into someone without thoughts.
I can't imagine myself to not be a person who think so much.
About everything.
Maybe because I wanted a reason for everything.
But yet when they don't explain to me, I think.
I started thinking at a very young age.
Pondering about the future me when I was in primary school.
Just what do I want in life.
Maybe till now I still don't know what I want.
But I'm really grateful that my parents have treated me so strictly when I was young.
I can't imagine an insensitive weepin and just enjoying life in the wrong ways.
Hmmm.
Just wondering about how I'll turn out as a person if not for my parents though.
