“Obedience is the great test of life.”

Thomas S. Monson

This quote is pretty self-explanatory but it is basically saying that obedience is so important that it may determine how you live your life. I guess I agree with this quote but not really. Obedience, I think, should only be given to those that deserve it. Whether or not it determines your life is a different story. Obedience is a form of respect and the way you distinguish who you should be obedient to is a form of self-respect. Given all that, I believe that obedience shouldn't be “the great test of life” because that would signify that you are obedient to everyone, which isn't good.
