“Honor Thy Father And Thy Mother”, Or Else

The world abides by one main law: For every action, there is an equal reaction. For every cause, there is an effect, or a consequence, that evens out the event. I have learned that if I disobey my parents on a warning or an order, a I will experience the reaction, if it is a punishment or an uncomfortable situation. For instance, if my father warns me about peer pressure (in Adam and Eve’s case, the serpent) in school and how, if I give into it, would end up with a serious health dilemma. Since Adam and Eve didn’t heed to their father’s, God’s warning, they had to pay for their defiance by having to work the land and eat “from the sweat of their foreheads” and were banished from the garden of Eden as well. From this we can learn that almost all of the time, our parents know what’s best for us even though we think it’s not so.
