secret combinations?

I had a noteworthy comment from my son today. I asked him what a secret combination was. It is a thing Latter-day Saints all know and are instantly aware of, and so I wanted him to be educated and aware of what those two words meant. He quickly, without giving me much heed said, "you have told me about that lots of times. Of course I know what it is." Alright, I did just ask if he knew what it was and was answered accordingly, but I was expecting him to explain what it was. I had not actually asked that though.

It is like one of my pet peeves how people ask, "How are you?" But, then don't give you time to answer. It is merely a salutation.

But, he did explain it to me and very insightfully. He likened it to anyone who tries to hide or leave something out when explaining, basically confusing purposely, although that is notmurder, if it is to get personal gain by being misleading, that would be a secret combination.

I realized that my whole life is like a secret combination, then. Like when I say that I am not going to ingest sugar, but privately, I sneak a candy thinking it honestly won't hurt anyone besides, no one else will know.

But, the greatest thing I realized was in reference to the Democratic party, or communists. The ideas are good very much like the Nephites, who for decades have been the good guys wearing white hats, but this same manipulation which I have always called the frailty of men (it causes such good ideas to fail). It is truly pride. 

I could say so much more, but it is too time consuming, maybe I will make a video.
