Me As An Obedient Boy

Always being an obedient boy is what I am told by my parents, elders and teachers. Obedience is a kind of habit followed by an obedient and well-trained person. It includes obedience to one’s parents, elders, seniors and teachers. Among many things, obedience is one of the toughest things that I have to learn. Many problems arise if I do not learn to be an obedient and disciplined boy. Obedience is an important quality that every cultured person should possess.

Obedience is a type of co-operation, which is taught by parents and elders at home as well as by teachers at school. It is expected from students to their teachers and children to their parents. It is also expected from employees to their employers, soldiers to their seniors and citizens to their Government. Obedience is also expected from a devotee to God.

I find it as my prime duty to obey my parents, elders and teachers. I always do what they tell me to do. All that I have is given to me by them. Thus, I find obedience as a very simple way of showing my thankfulness towards them. Being grown-ups and having knowledge of the world, my elders are in best position to form better judgments for me. Hence, not only is it my duty to obey my parents, but also follow and remember their instructions with great respect.

My parents are my best well-wishers. From their experience, they know what is good for me. For the sake of my well-being, they insist obedience from me. Obedient children grow into responsible citizens. They are not only loved by their parents and relatives but also by others around them.

There cannot be a better story than ‘Casablanca on the Deck’. Father had asked his son not to leave the deck until he returned. The ship was on fire and father was dead. Sailors asked Casablanca to leave the deck and escape for life. The boy did not leave, because father had asked him not to. The outcome of the boy could be imagined. Casablanca has become immortal because he obeyed his father.

Obedience, just like charity must begin at home. parents and elders have a great responsibility of upbringing their children to be obedient and loving individuals. Unless one knows the value of obedience, he cannot become obedient. We all must observe obedience.
