Obedience and Listening
Let me start this essay by writing the definition of obedience and listening, which are the subjects of this writing. Obedience - compliance with someone's wishes or o orders or acknowledgment of their authority [1] . Listening take notice of and act on what someone says; respond to advice or request [2]. Another definition I came across the internet which made the topic of this essay easier to understand is that obedience - comes from the Latin root word OBOEDIRE , which means to LISTEN" [3].

There are still a lot of Don'ts but now I have realized that I have listened and obeyed my parents' rules and so I never encountered any major problem or injury in my childhood days. My parents always tell me to listen to everything they say and follow all house rules and regulations. For everything was for my own good. And by listening and obeying them makes me a good child, and an
