                  The 10 Indian Commandments seem like very simple and easy things to do. Most people might think that rules are set up to control people but the commandments that the Indians have only show a symbol of respect and honesty. These kind of commandments are the ones that the world should also take in consideration of doing. All the commandments are basically asking you for a few things; keep the earth clean and don't harm it, respect everyone including yourself, and be honest about things. If people were to take the time to really analyses what the commandments are saying people will see the big picture that not only should the Indians do it but also everyone else.

             " A promise must never be broken."
                                   

                                            Alexander Hamilton

                         Whenever you break a promise or you don't even do the promise you're losing someones trust. A person will never trust you again if you are always breaking promises or not keeping your word about it. Promises are meant to be kept and not be broken. I have had a few times that people break a promise to me and all it does it disappoint me and never trust in the persons word again. If you feel that you won't be able to keep the promise or even do the promise you should never promise anything to someone. It's always best to say the truth to a person that you won't be able to keep the promise then to just promise something and end up hurting the persons feelings and trust.

              "The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

                                                          Boyd K. Packer

As Boyd K. Packer said "the more obedient we are the more freedom we have". His very true about that because obedience not only comes from when you follow directions from your parents but a lot within teachers and in your community. For example if you are obedient when your parents tell you that you could only be out with you friends in a certain time and you follow the directions your parents will start letting you out more with trust because they know that if they ever say a time you will follow directions and be obedient. Not only does it work with people but also with teachers, if you listen to the directions and follow them teachers never give you a hard time because they know they don't have to waste time in telling you what you have to do. You'll have more freedom because they will know you would get your work done. That's why always choose the right because you will bring you nothing but good things.
