"The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

- Boyd K. Packer

Reflection:

I hate this. And I can't believe of all quotes, I have to listen to this authority kiss-*ss again. He thinks that obedience is the only way to freedom, but believe me, it's not. It's dumb, it's so incredibly idiotic to even think like that. It annoys me to no end. I'd like to see this hypocrite tied down to slavery, and see him still say that he'll be free one day simply by being obedient. The more submissive you are, the more vulnerable and prone you are to being used by those above you. That's my opinion, and I won't budge on this. I apologize for implying a cuss word earlier, but that statement is absolutely ignorant and not very well thought out, and I feel very strongly about this.

"The key to freedom is obedience."

- Boyd K. Packer

Reflection:

I don't like this quote at all, to be completely honest. I don't like the idea that the only way you can attain freedom is by being obedient to those above you. Well, not liking it is an understatement. I hate it. I hate it. It's so horrible to think that the only way you can have freedom (which isn't even freedom when you think about it, freedom to do what you want AS LONG AS you follow certain rules is most definitely NOT freedom) is by bowing down to others. I can only assume that the creator of this quote was probably a man of authority, who looked down on the people he deemed beneath him.

I never want to view this quote even as a life motto. No. That's just a stupid quote with a heavy contradiction.

The key to freedom is complete anarchy.
