Today's OneWord: Instill

He told me he was doing it because he wanted to instill courage in me. That he wanted me to become a survivor should total chaos break out in society. And he believed that would happen soon - far sooner than anyone else thought.

However, I didn't understand how hitting me would make me tougher, or pressing hot metal against my bare arms and legs. He said I had to get used to the pain, and one day, I responded by breaking his arm with just one hand. He wasn't willing to let his own mantra apply to his own agony.
