I meant to use this time to write out my sentiments regarding our helplessness, but instead I mean to use my life as an example of why nature dominates and reigns supreme in character definition.
I am slowly becoming very much the same person I always was regardless of nuture. There are constants and things I "naturally" clung to when so much of who I thought defined me was destroyed and necessarily abandoned.
I got a do over, knowing what I knew, or did I? So much was lost for the time being, but as I slowly "recovered" I found myself trying to rebuild exactly what I had, so I think it was,my nature that still makes the same choices regardless of the nurture. I do not mean to discredit nurturing. It has as important a function. I have often heard people Thank God that they were raised in the gospel and that it made all of the difference to them. I have also heard those who were raised another way be referred to as "golden". So, my argument is as I see it that there is a great "what is" and those who have a nature to accept it will and will thrive.
I am drawn to great thoughts because I adore truth. I do not create them, though.
I love great thoughts. The Latin root Ammer means to love and so I am rightly an amateur of brilliance, and too often am,mistaken as the author of such. Not so. It reminds me of an LDS authority who used other's stories as his own. His title was stripped from him. It left a huge impression. 1) Don't Christians teach forgive and forget? Everyone makes capital errors. 2) The truth must be highly graded and respected...could it be the unpardonable sin or denying the Holy Ghost to say untrue things? If this was so important to never misrepresent what you say, it really is the foundation,of all that we are. By we I,mean the Latter-day saints. As far as I've heard we are the only religion claiming to be the "True" Church. Though I've never heard any claim to be openly false either.
