Childish, forgetful issues.
Are some people really looked down upon by the people that are their persecutors or that are making fun of them? That do not include them because they're different and more or less odd? Just because they have either decided not to do, or haven't figured out, what their would-be friends like and dislike, these people condemn every word that proceeds from their mouth as a waste of breath? Being in a theological culture such as Orem, is it so easy to forget that we are all equal and have great worth, as it is according to our beliefs?
My little brother, who is 7, finds it to his advantage to forget certain things. He dislikes remembering when his bed time is, where his chore list is, etc... It does him absolutely no good, because he is eventually persuaded to find the list and go to bed. However, some kids, varying from Jr. Highers to High schoolers, are more and more often freed from the scrutiny that used to be found in abundance at home when they were younger. In today's society, have the teenagers, and probably even much of the adult world, also fallen into this childish trap of forgetfulness?
Not only is the belief that everyone is equal nation-wide, but we have very prominent religious standards in this area of the country regarding the worth of each person and that 'remember' is one of the most important words of any language. Remembering where and why we and/or other people were sad or happy, etc. It is also used for remembering the council of our faith: we are all important people and can all lead influential lives, but whether we choose this influence for the benefit or downfall of others is the choice of today's blog.
So why is it so common among us to forget the intense significance of remembering who we are and what is the correct path to choose? This leads me back to the beginning of the blog. It is simply a childish instinct to follow what might immediately benefit ourselves, even if it's at the expense of others and most ironically often, our very own futures. May we all have the capacity to remember. Do not our families, friends, relatives, neighbors, jobs, education, community, nation, world and progression and development depend on it?
