How Much Really Matters Anyway

 How much of this life really matters anyway? Let's face it, we know we're born, we live, and we die. Some believe we complete that cycle all over again in different bodies and ways. Reincarnation is a belief that some people hold dear. All I know is what I've been told. Living life to its fullest isn't the easiest of tasks, but it is possible. So, I ask, how much of this life matters.

If there isn't a straight answer to any of this, what does that mean for us as a human race? Shouldn't we be allowed a specific answer that solves all questions? I would think so. Doesn't mean there will be one. Eventually there might be an answer to everything, but for now we might just have to deal with the fact that no answer could be the answer. We might not be looking for that specific answer, but we must accept it and move on for now. I wish there were a way to handle it all accordingly.

I don't think people will ever fully understand what is going on with life. There are too many complexities out there that we just don't grasp. It could be simpler than we try to make it out to be of course. But that doesn't mean it is indeed simple. Life is life and we are here to experience it.

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?
