Proverbs 13:24 - How is it hateful to spare the rod?

This is a segment from the weekly Bible study at Common Sense Bible Study.

A little pain today often prevents a lot of pain later in life.

Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
Proverbs 13:24

This verse is very controversial today, but it wasn't always. The anti-spanking movement that mostly started in the 1960s has created a generation of neurotic adults who have no understanding of God's standards and very little understanding of basic cause and effect as it relates to life's major decisions.
