To be obedient, it
is to obey the orders/requests (mostly) of one's elders and superiors. There
cannot be order unless there is obedience. One has to obey the laws of the
country, otherwise the society cannot exist. The laws may be irksome, but, for
the overall good of the law, one must obey them. For instance, the laws to be
obeyed on the road ensures road safety. The laws pertaining to property help
society continue without hitches and hindrances. Even in our body our limbs
obey the commands of the brains unless they are diseased. Obedience is
essential for the enforcement of order.
Obedience includes
obedience to one's parents and elders. Parents are the best well wishers of
their children. From their experience, they know what is good for their
children. They would never mean ill for them. For the sake of the well being of
the children, parents insist on obedience. Obedient children grow into fine
children. They are not only loved by their parents, but also by others
connected with the household and by the neighbours. When children obey parents,
they become very happy.
Circumstances as
they may be, parents may set certain norms. Children may not understand their
implications, but if they obey, very often they will steer of dangers. For
instance, the parent may warn his son of bad company. If the son obeys, he will
grow unscathed. The parents may insist on personal cleanliness, keeping things
clean, neat and tidy, being regular in studies and so on and so forth. If the
boy/girl obeys the parents in such and other things, he/she will surely grow
into a finer one. Of course, sometimes the parents orders may be forceful
enough. If the parent shows how he is obedient, the son will naturally be
obedient. Being obedient to
parents/elders will have to be followed in life. An obedient servant is always
liked and respected. But for the unquestioning obedience of servants big
establishments cannot be run. Unless one knows the value of obedience and has
been practicing it, suddenly he cannot become obedient. Servants who are
obedient are preferred to clever ones. One may argue that blind obedience won't
do good. Where one can prove the other is wrong, strict obedience can be
waived. This happened sometimes; a junior may have a brilliant idea and without
infraction of obedience he may put up his idea in the appropriate manner.
Obedience, just like charity must begin at home. Parents have a duty in
bringing up children to be obedient and loving.
