Help[Opinions] Re: WWYN Triplets
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I get what you mean, but we'd all be holding our breath at every stop light without obedience. Choosing to obey when it's for the good of everyone involved is a positive.
It's not something I usually talk about, but I was told to slow down one time years ago. I was driving in a neighborhood with a marked speed limit of 30 MPH, but I knew there were often kids playing there. When I was told to slow down (and there's no other way I have to describe this, I was just told), I looked at my speedometer and saw that I was only doing 22 MPH. I took my foot out of the gas anyway, and I didn't hit the little boy who came flying out on a skateboard from behind a toy trailer parked on the right hand side. If I hadn't obeyed, blindly, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop. Scared us both white as sheets, but I didn't hit him.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of the "shut up and don't ask questions" flavour of obedience...that's what the name puts me in mind of.
