I Didn't Ask To Be Born

 You hear the phrase "I didn't ask to be born" over and over again. It's in the media; people say it out loud in frustration and the like. Did any of us ask to be here? Maybe there was a time before we came to Earth and were born that we chose to be here, we just don't remember it. I know some religions believe that to be the case. Not everyone does believe that to be true, but some do. It's an interesting concept. To have one's memories wiped of another lifetime and then they are born on Earth.

On Earth we experience things like grief and pain. Loneliness and sadness. All of the different emotions that make us who we are. Coming to terms with loss can be difficult at times, and it's a thing that we go through several times in our lifetime. Loss isn't just something that's made up, it's deeply rooted within us. It's not surface level deep, and it sucks.

Personally, I wish I didn't have to suffer through loss. But I'm human and that's what I have to do. Losing a loved one can happen in many ways. Death isn't the only way. There are other ways to feel loss.

There has to be a way to get through this. I just don't know how to do it. Life tends to come at us faster than we can say lightbulb and that's not a good thing. It can be confusing at times. I know to me it's confusing a lot of the time. I don't know how else to put it.

Being divorced twice now I don't see happiness in marriage. I only remember the bad times, the sad times, the times that makes me want to go mad. I know there were good times, but my mind just seems to block it for some reason. I wish things could have turned out differently. But they didn't and here I am now experiencing loss a second time. It's not an easy thing to go through.

First there was the death of my father and now this. Why must life bring about so many terrible things at once on me? I don't understand.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
