Love = Obedience

-A long time ago I met an exceptional family, when they went out for a walk everyone turned to see them for different reasons, some admired their beauty others their things and even their status is safe to say that wherever they went they attracted the eyes of everyone around them.

-At that time I was 9 years old and my family was invited to a meeting in the house of said family, the eldest son who was the same age as I was on the playstation console the new game that had come out and I was dying for to play; Obviously I did not miss the opportunity and at the first offer I took the opportunity to play with both hands.

-The game was going well we had played two rounds, with the result of a victory for each of us and we were disputed the tiebreaker when the door suddenly rang and the father of the family told his eldest son to open the door immediately.

-To my total surprise and confusion, he obeyed him, he left the game suddenly (which let me tell you I was winning) he got up and opened the door happily receiving the guests,I simply could not understand it, if it had been me I would have told my dad to wait for the game to end anyway there was little left for us to do it, but this boy was not me he obeyed instantly and willingly I would not have done that and in the doubtful case that he did, I am quite sure that he would not do it willingly.

-Only when he had finished carrying out his father's mandate, did he play with me again as if nothing had happened, I could only stare at him without knowing what to say to him until I asked him -Why did you do that? -He answered me with a smile on his face and voice –Why I love him you know? Love is a beautiful feeling, which sometimes has to be shown this is my way of showing it to my father every time I refuse something to obey him is a way to reaffirm my love for him.

-Perplexed by his answer, I asked him another question -He asked you? -Why that if you don't obey, you don't love me, it didn't seem to me many times that I myself disobeyed my father and that didn't mean that I certainly didn't love him. He would not stop loving me for something as insignificant as obedience-No, he did not ask me, look at this game I did not ask my father, he bought it because he loves me and he knew that I loved him, anyway I obey him because I love him and I know that is what he wants.

-this conversation a little deep for a couple of 9-year-olds is etched in my memory to this day, I don't even remember the name of the person I had it with what I clearly remember is the revelation / lesson that I got that day.

-Love equals obedience

End.
