OBEY


We are taught to OBEY. No matter what subgroup of the world we decide to become involved with, there are rules. Rules that force us how to think, dress, or simply OBEY. 

Can such obedience be the reason our society is facing failure? Can this obedience only compound the problems we face? Obedience is important because it makes sure that there are no riots in the streets and that those in power remain in power.

As long as the individual OBEYS their party and falls in line, things remain the same. For example, a republican that hugs Obama and thanks him for working together during Sandy is not being obedient. He has challenged the structure and is now a sacrificial lamb for the party. Obedience even if it means failure seems to be the mantra in today's society.

My pants must sag to the ground because I must OBEY the culture.  I must stand in line to have the next Apple product and pledge my obedience. I must listen to a certain type of music in order to fulfill my obedience.   

Are we not capable enough to figure out that obedience has left us dull? It has started wars over the same figure just with a different name. Millions of lives have been erased and vanished because someone chose to OBEY.   

If we speak against the actions of our government and no longer OBEY will we be corralled in trains and sent to some prison camp? There are some that believe that this is so, but they forget that WE THE PEOPLE are the real driving force of this country, not those that we give credence to.

After we have been broken down by 12 years of mandated brainwashing, to only stumble into our first class of college one would think we could break free. But they program us even further. It is not until one becomes a master of their craft that they can break free from the chains of imperialism that still colonizes the mind.

We OBEY the new trends as they are ushered in by the media conglomerates. We OBEY trashy talk shows while we sleep around with so many people that a paternity test is needed. We OBEY social media while we check updates and make posts behind the wheel, putting others’ lives in jeopardy.

But this obedience is destroying us. It is dividing and eliminating free thought. Our free will has already been shackled, but will our ability to decide be lost as well?
