In our post-everything culture, obey has become a four-letter word. Obeying is for wimps. Obeying is for people who didn__ do well enough on their SATs to write their own rules. Only the weak and the feeble and the young_-well, not even the young anymore_-need to obey. Funny, because the root of the word obey is from the French verb meaning __o listen, or to give ear to._ It was never intended as a militant word, but one of hearing, of understanding. Of getting it. For a world obsessed with staying in constant communication, we aren__ really very good listeners.
