I Wish I Knew

 There are times in life when we just simply do not know how to move forward. I wish I knew what to do about those times that come up. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly how to handle them. There are so many things out there in the world that are difficult in these trying times. So many ways to go about doing the same thing. There doesn't appear to be a simple way to proceed without stomping all over myself. That's how I feel about it at least. I don't know how everyone else feels, maybe the same, possibly different. I don't know. I'm not sure I want to know. It probably doesn't really matter as it is now does it. Maybe it just doesn't matter. Maybe this life doesn't matter. I wish I could die and just move on from this place. Is that too much to ask? It hasn't happened yet no matter how much I plead with God for some kind of release from this life. I guess there's more for me to do. He's probably getting tired of hearing from me too. I know I would be.

When I think about death, I think how sweet it would be to finally be done with this mortal coil. There's nothing I would like more than to be freed from pain and suffering. The likes of which only I know for myself. Sometimes I wish I could just get a hint of what the next life has in store for me. I'll accept whatever fate I am dealt due to my actions in this life. I get that's a part of it. God's grace can only go so far, you have to be held accountable for your own actions at some point.

Life doesn't last forever. There's always an end hiding around the corner somewhere. I only wish I knew when that end would get here. There doesn't appear to be any other way about it. Life needs to end. That's all which matters to me right now. I would be so relieved if that were the case. Something tells me that won't be happening anytime soon though, a shame really.

Maybe I need to stop worrying about it all. Perhaps that is the answer to my prayers. I'm not sure how any of it works out in the end. It could be something quite convoluted. Who really knows anymore. I sure don't. Perhaps it doesn't matter anymore. If that's the case, it can all be tabled for now. Why bother.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. 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?
