Obedience Is Not A Virtue

My thoughts on the tragic and completely unnecessary death of the french bulldog puppy on the United flight:

That beautiful puppy died because the parent and every single soul on that plane has been conditioned to obey and respect authority since childhood, so the thought of saying:

"No. This is wrong. You are wrong. Let me and my puppy off of this plane now."

Is inconceivable. Every single one of those people knew this was not only horrific but wrong.

And they all let it happen. They all sat there and said/did NOTHING.

Their tears and pain mean absolutely nothing to me. The only redemption to be had is that hopefully these people will be reminded of that time they could've saved a life had they not been well trained, obedient cowards, and that this gives them the courage to not blindly obey fools in uniforms.

I won't post the story. My heart is broken enough... For that innocent puppy that was murdered in a slow, painful way, and for the future of our world, where obedience has replaced the courage and compassion it takes to stand up for another being in any situation.

The compassion and courage to do what is right.
