If These Walls Could Talk

 If these walls could talk, I'm sure they would give you some interesting stories about me. I'm not sure I would want them to talk though. They might get in the way of everything and anything that happens in this life. I mean they're walls; they know everything that goes on behind closed doors don't they. I don't think I understand how a wall could talk to begin with. They are an inanimate object aren't they.

Maybe they would talk about all the times I've cried out of frustration. Or the times I've been angry but haven't burst out in anger, because it's useless. They could talk about the times I just wanted to sleep all day and do nothing. There are so many things they could talk about if they had the chance. Who would give them the chance to talk though, that's the question.

I don't think I know all of the secrets they know. I doubt that's even possible. They have probably seen and heard so much more than I ever have told them myself. Other people have been in this room; they have had their own events in life. So, I'm sure the walls could talk about them as well. Silly walls doing their thing, whatever that is.

Imagine what they would say though. The things they heard and observed in their time of being walls. Did they see bad things happen? Good things happen? A mix of the two? There's no way to tell exactly what they have observed in their lifetime of being part of a house. There's just no way to tell.

If these walls could talk, I'm sure they would have some interesting stories.

It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

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?
