In short, I am learning that usually the most appealing, thus preferred object or means ends up being the most regrettable. Acordingly, people live for tomorrow trying to imagine what they would like in the future.
An extremely common scenario would be a boy who prefers to sleep in or skip classes to party when their vocation is being taught, and in the time they might have practiced and perfected their craft, instead they played video games. Before you get up in arms defending the need of things like sleep and fun, or start to list the advantages of playing video games, I want to point out that I did not say they had free time, but used time that was ear marked for something else. They might feel happier, but in the long run, they will not be able to support a family or even continue their habit, unless they ecpect to be alone, which the very existance of man dictates otherwise.
What started this was my noticing preparations made by home owners for soon expected snow. And I thought, crap I missed out entirely on that home owni g experience, cause I was pregnant and looking for the most preferable option when looking for a place to live. This place required no initial work (like my first house), was ready to move in, and had no yard to maintain. Even a stake president once told me his home owning horror story explaining that rentals or condos were the way to go.
Still, I feel like I am missing out on so many things that would be great for my family and would teach responsibility.
