'Obedience' Where did this word come from? Invented as a word for the masses. Obidience to whom,what?! It seems like it was invented for someones ambitions, prohibitons and absolute necessities. To help some people, to insturmentalize everything that is external to them. There is also another word... Standing at the against and resisting. A necessity, standing against some people disregarding others. 'Disobedience'.
