One Thing

 If I could have one thing in this world it would be peace. Peace of mind, peace of heart. Whatever kind of peace i wanted, I would wish for that. Imagine if the whole world got together and worked together for the greater good. Instead, we have wars and rumors of wars. Things that get ugly and there's nothing that can be done about them, not in a logical manner that is. Someone always has to be right. Someone always has to be on the winning side of things. Why must there always be a winner and a loser to situations? War is no laughing matter.

I would love to have a clear mind and an open heart. Doesn't always happen that way though. Life is what you make of it. It can go well or it can go bad. It's up to you to shape and mold it to how you want it to go. No one can make that decision for you. That's just how it is. Not everything is cut and dry in this life. It doesn't happen that way.

I'm not a fan of things that don't happen according to plan. I don't know how things actually go; they just don't go to how I would like them to. It can be annoying. But I must deal with it to the best of my ability. That's just how this life ends up being.

Life in its infinite wisdom doesn't always have a plan for you.

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?
