Revelation

The doctrine and covenants earns the same feeling as General Conference. I think that book is an early example of how dissemination of revelation was performed, and I am increasingly thankful for realtime media.

Just one of those

Today, I realized as I was doing typical things, which included listening to similar music, today I relistened and realized a whole lot more than I normally do because a,new thing happened I realized like the world that saw things as revolving around them, so,much can be seen and understood with the proper perspective.

For example a song that seemed perfectly suited to me, almost too perfect. But, this morning I realized that it also fit another situation perfectly, and the only reason I could justify being so egocentric was because I could only know things from my point of view, and so I remained comfortable, but as I thought more about others, more made sense. Though a paradigm shift is not usually comfortable. Comfort has not nor ever be a motivation towards goodly things.

I realized that my big trouble was not being misunderstood, it was misunderstanding because I was so selfcentered.

Why look back at all?

If The past was as wonderful as I imagine it to have been so what? By what I mean it is not profitable to dwell on what was, but what could be. What ever was great only increases the possibility of what can be. In short what was great in the past should only continue in greatness to the present and only offer and increase in potential future. So why bother longing for what was?
