can some one help me break this quote down to more of understanding".There was, though, a difference between obeying commands and having a purpose, a reason for being."
What book is this from? What’s the context? When is it due?
Can you give us some context - where is it from, why are you asking?
ETA: suspicious minds think alike…
a book called a dogs purpose… trying to break it down to some kids…
I’ll take, “What is a dog’s purpose?”, for $200, Alex.
Well if they are kids then you can break it down just about any reasonable way, right?
Obeying a command:
Hey, you! Walk in that door!
OK, I’ll walk in that door.
Having a purpose:
The house is on fire and my baby is in there!
(Runs in the door.)
Is that clear enough?
There is a difference between following orders and following a plan.
