Look at the two commandments of the New Testament. What do they really mean? If they are followed, how do we live?  What do we need to give up?  Try this experiment: go a day when everything you do is guided by these two commandments.  Reflect: are you happier?  Was it easy?  Why or why not?

There are two commandments of the New Testament-Honor your father and your mother and thou shalt not bear false witness. These mean that you need to honor your parents because they raise you up. People should not lie to other people. If we follow those commandments, our life will be very hard because most of  commandments that we have been given up. We need to give up that freedom that we have right now. When everything I do is guided by these two commandments, I feel that I am happy. I honor my parents by making food and doing everything that they do for me. I feel that is so hard and I understand their life on that day. On that day, I try not to tell the lie, and I feel that I can be the way I am. However, it is not as easy as I think, because I used to be the way I was. It is hard to change, but it is a good thing to change.
