“Obedience is central to
becoming, being, and remaining happy.”
David A. Bednar
This quote means that if you
are obedient then it is likely that you become happy and stay happy. I am not
sure if I agree with this quote or not. The reason why I am unsure is because
the thought of saying that obedience will make you happy is too vague to be correct.
Yes obedience is choosing the right thing to do but does it make you happy? There
are plenty of scenarios that would show that someone isn’t happy because they
are obedient. Some scenarios might include slavery, oppression, tyranny, fear,
or even just depression. All those scenarios would include someone being obedient
but also not being happy. So again I don’t think I agree with this quote, but
nor do I disagree with it because it some cases being obedient will grant you
happiness.
