Obedience to parents and elders

To be obedient is to toe the line in the orders of one's elders and superiors. There cannot be classify if not there is obedience. One has to obey the laws of the country; otherwise the society cannot continue living anymore. The laws may be tiresome, except the overall excellence of the law is to obey them. For instance,

-  The road law 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. Docility includes obedience to person’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 ailing for them. For the goodness of the well being of the children, parents claim on obedience. Obedient children grow into superior children. They are not only loved by their parents but also by others connected with the household and by the neighbors. When children obey parents they are happy.

Based on the values and customs the obedience of children may differ sometimes. Children may not understand their propositions, but if they obey, very often they will guide of risks. For instance,

- The parent may warn his son of bad company. If the son obeys, he will grow unscathed. The parents may persevere on personal cleanliness, keeping things neat and tidy, being regular in studies and so on and so forth. If the boy or girl obeys the parents in such and other things, he or she will surely grow into a finer one.

Of course the parents' example may be dynamic enough. If the parent shows how he is obedient or submissive, the son will naturally be obedient.

Being obedient to parents and elders will have to be followed in life. An obedient person is always liked and respected. Unless one knows the value of obedience and has been practicing it, suddenly he cannot become amenable. People who are obedient are preferred to clever ones.

Obedience, just like charity must begin at home. Parents have a duty in bringing up children to be obedient and loving.
