“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

By David Bednar

    If you want freedom and think you deserve it you should be obedient. Being obedient is listening to your parents and older siblings even though they might be completely wrong. When you listen to what they have to say you let them know you could take orders behave properly. You also build up this trust. Later on they will let you go out with friend, use your phone, and best of all sleep. Your parents will give you freedom because they trust you. With freedom you will be happy because you will be given the liberty to do, almost, as you please. When you do what you want you will feel happy because you have less restrictions than your other friends already. All this for doing what you are supposed to. You will also be choosing the right and with those decisions you will feel better and happier already. I truly believe this because my parents give me an extensive amount of freedom. I’m allowed to go out with my friends as long as I clean. If I don’t clean then I will get in trouble and not be able to go out. For example, there was this time where my friends wanted my sister and I to go to the store with them but since I didn’t clean i couldn’t go. Then there was this other time where my mom did let me go because i had already cleaned and done my homework. This example just comes to show the truth behind this quote by David Bednar.
