''Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy''

This quote means that if you follow by the rules you well live a better life. For example if you are going to make something but you don't read the instructions what will happen to the thing you are making. It will end well and probably not taste good at all. When you do follow the rules it will turn out much better and taste good and probably smell better too. Another example is when you follow the rules at home and act good too. You will feel happy and good that you helped around the house. Also you will probably will get rewarded of what you did for the day. When you are not obedient and your not acting good you will feel bad about yourself that you mad people get mad because of your fault. When they tell you don’t touch that because you're going to get burned or cut but you still do it. At the end you feel sad but also its your fault because you did not obey the person that was telling you to not do that thing. When you are obedient you remain happy but when you're not you remain sad.
