Is It Worth It

 I have to stop myself from time to time and wonder if it's worth it. Well, I have to define what it is to begin with don't I. Life. Is life worth it. That is the question I wish to answer. I don't know if I have all of the answers right now, but it's a good question to have on my mind. If life isn't worth it, what exactly are we doing here? It doesn't make sense to me. That's too easy of a phrase to utter. Things just don't make sense to a degree. They eventually will make sense to me, just not at this time. I'm always saying things don't make sense and that feels wrong somehow. I should stop saying things don't make sense and leave it at that.

To wonder if life is worth it can be overwhelming at times. I'm uncertain about my future. I don't know how it will all go down, or how my future will unfold. There's no way of telling right now. It's rather an odd state to be in. I wish I could efficiently say what it is I am thinking, but I don't know how to do so. Life is a complex machine or monster that no one can fully control. Life isn't meant to be controlled. That's just the way of things. You have to take the good with the bad that comes along your way and see everything to the end. It will eventually make sense in the long run, but you have to get there first.

Not every story you come across will have a point. Not every dream you have will be crystal clear, and not every experience you encounter will have the answers you want. But these things will have the opportunities you need to grow as a person. Isn't that what it's all about? Growth as a human being? I think it is. Nothing else really matters beyond that point in life. It's just made up and the points don't matter.

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?
