There's nothing wrong with thinking that you are superior to someone even if they are in a position of authority as long as your reasons have some validity. I don't see why you refuse to accept that some people have more power than others. People are not equal though. Disobedience is not wrong per se but if you agree to be obedient of your own free will you should accept the consequences and not renege on the agreement.
