A few years ago, I was acquainted with a lady who grew up in Germany during World War II. She's not Jewish. Some children, including herself, were staying at a convent for protection from whatever might happen at their homes. Once when bombs were dropping all around, the children in her convent were herded to the basement and told not to go outside under any circumstances.
My friend, about 8 years old at the time, of course, could think of nothing but going outside, so she did, contrary to orders. While she was outside, a bomb hit the convent, killing all of the children and nuns inside.
Disobedience is not always the wrong course.
