Student Success Statement

"The key to freedom is obedience"



Boyd K. Packer

Reflection: I disagree with this quote for many reasons. One is that who ever you are obedient to is letting you do what you want to do so it can give you a false sense of freedom which is what most countries in the world do now. Another is that no one can feel real freedom because as long as we live in the physical world we would have to die to feel actual freedom because then we can escape or physical body and live on as a spiritual figure free of everything.

Obedience

Obedience in human nature is the will to follow someone that is an authority figure say like your parents,teachers,the President, etc.

Some synonyms are:

  • Compliance
  • Duty
  • Conformity
  • Submission
  • tameness

Some examples of obedience are:

  • A solider is obedient to his commanding officer
  • The boy obeyed his mother and father when he was told to throw away the trash
