CEFR Level B1-B2
The Background
Education is dangerous. It gives people ideas. When people have ideas, they start to think. Thinking means asking questions. Asking questions means authority cannot have unwavering obedience. That is bad for The Authority.
I was raised to obey The Authority without question. I was told The Authority always has my best interest in mind. Whether or not I was explicitly taught this, I came to believe that it was disobedience to even want something different from what the person in authority wanted. Any of my own ideas got shut up in a filing cabinet called “They Must Know Something I’ll Learn Later.”

CEFR Level B1-B2
This essay is for the people who, like me, became adults believing that if they hadn’t prepared for every eventuality, if they didn’t see every possible solution before anyone else did, then they were deficient, irresponsible humans.
Prefer to read the version that connects to ministry? Read on my Substack!
The Story St. Valentine by Jacques Callot CEFR Level B2-C1 At least, if you believe in obeying laws that violate your religious beliefs.
