Hosea Ballou

"Obedience sums up our entire duty" - Hosea Ballou
Obedience is not a skill, we have the choice to decide whether or not we are obedient. Obedience sums up our entire duty, because duty and responsibility consists of obedience. Without people who obey, everyone would do whatever they desired, and things would never get done. For example if constructors did not obey manuals/orders, buildings would not be built correctly and people would be in huge danger, including the constructors. Another example could be, when doing something the other way around rather than the proper way, that then affects the duty you are doing and the one they have trusted you with. In my opinion this quote,by Hosea Ballou, really adds up and makes sense, because without obedience nobody would do the duties that they are responsible for.
