Stay Humble Young Blood

Obedience and Humility are two foreign words to society these days. No one wants to actually practice any of these values because they are associated with weakness. If you allow other people to take precedence over you, you are weak and have no pride. This is everyone's mindset towards those kind of actions. In my opinion, that's not right because a world with humility and obedience is a world full of idiots, since no one would follow anybody, and no one would be open to a different opinion, other than their own. And no one person knows everything.

Obedience and Humility

Obedience and humility, both being two important values of a Benedictine monk, are in my opinion very important in anyone's life. This is true for humility because when you understand and accept who you are, it is easier to go through life because you're more accepting of a lot of things such as when you can't do something, like being a leader to a lot of people.  Humility is also important when it comes to being obedient to someone. When you practice obedience, which, in my opinion, is listening to someone out of pure respect, your life is a lot less stressful, because there is a lot of stress that comes with disobedience. An example of this is in convocation, when you're asked to be quiet. Instead of talking, and worrying about being heard, or caught, you can participate, and you might actually learn or gain something from it.

Today, I will talk about how obedience and humility are applied in everyday life. In these times, many families originated in one-family crisis between parents and children, because the spouses, to support them, are forced to work outside the home. That interest of partners to ensure the economic status of their children, and not allow them to have time to take care of home education, which involves values ​​such as filial piety, good manners, honesty, gratitude, courtesy, mutual respect, trust and obedience, is more important than education received by children and adolescents in schools and colleges. The consequence is that children, lacking a good relationship with their parents, for the short time they have their parents to share with them,  risk falling into a state of emotional crisis affecting obedience to be observed.  Then some of the parents, when they have to discipline children, appeal to the rod or strap as a deterrent, involving corporal, and often verbal, punishment, further deepening the problem. But when love and good homeschooling prevail, then the children respect their parents, are held and obeyed by them, and are well behaved, in compensation for their good treatment.

Jesus Peralta - Obedience

The bible has much to say about obedience. In fact, Obedience is the essence of the Christian faith. Jesus himself was "Obedient unto death in the cross". For Christians, the act of taking up our cross, and following him means obedience.

Obedience to God proves our love for him, demonstrates our faithfulness to him, glorifies him in the world, & open avenues of blessings for us.

Obedience also is important in teens.  We have to be obedient with our parents, & world. When you are obedient, you're also applying other values, like honesty, respect, humility,  discipline, etc.

Be obedient to one another

I think why you should be obedient to one another is because they would be obedient to you, and that would be a good thing. How can you be obedient?  Having humility is the answer to this question.   Obedience would make them happy.  If I have to be obedient to some body, it would take me a long time to do so. I think why you need to be obedient to one another, when somebody is telling you to do something, is because you are listening to what somebody has said to you, and that would make them think that you care about what they have to said to you.  I think the answer to the question of obedience depends on if the other person cares about what I have said, or that what I think, and I also care about the other person, which requires humility.

Humility and Obedience

Jason Mattos


               Obedience is something that's part of my day to day life. Everyday, my parents have something for me to do , either around the house, taking out trash, and other everyday chores. I can be disobedient sometimes, lazy, and the consequence from that is I lose trust from them, and not being able to do what I want. We always gain trust when we do what we're asked, and they'll think that this person is a good person, who does what he/she's asked. Not obeying leads to problems around the house, and it can lead to arguments and fights, and in the end, we're grounded, which I think every teen does not like. I find it funny that when we do something we want, we ask our parents, and act all innocent, and always say please, but when they ask you, we act in a very lazy manner as I mentioned before.
                Humility is a virtue that connects with obedience very well. Humility is something that a lot of people are struggling to learn; even I sometimes am ignorant to that word. For example, you have a talent, and a stranger comes up to you, and says you are very good at what you do, and you say "No I'm really not." But when a person criticizes you, we tend to agree. We always reject the compliment, and accept the critic.

Obedience is a strong word for everyone, and by everyone, I mean the whole world. For example, as a teenager, now a days we have no respect for anyone - we just respect friends and teachers. Obedience is to obey one another, big or small. Now a days, we only follow people who have more power than us, which are teachers, parents, and elders. I think obedience should be taken seriously,whether or not the other has more power, or is older than you. I think I am very obedient to others and myself. But for me, it really depends what that person wants you to do. If it’s bad, then I say NO, but if it’s GOOD, then I will obey. It depends on the person who gives you obedience. Then there's humility. Humility is a modest or low view of one's own importance; humbleness. If you are humble to one another, then obedience is not a difficult task for you. Obedience is easy when it comes to humility, but only some people can take being both obedient and humble.
