I'm going to stick to posting positive things on Social Media. I didn't mean to start a firestorm of back and forth comments and arguments. I was upset and voiced my opinion. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, I much prefer the positive, feel good comments I see when people post beautiful and uplifting things. I'm going to stick to that.
I believe Alma when he said: "And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God." (Alma 31:5)
The world I envision promotes Good News instead of the headlines we read today. It celebrates when people accomplish things and do acts of kindness. People do not get jealous when others achieve, instead they celebrate them. The world I envision help others so there is no poor among them. They are industrious in building up the world around them. They help the infirmed and poor and build them up so they too can be as productive as they are capable. They help each other develop and use the strengths they have.
The world I envision loves our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ. They strive to be like Them and everyone is better for it.
If everyone treated others as they would like to be treated then think of the world we would have. There would be no murders or robberies. There would be no crime of any kind. People would get along. There would be no wars or gangs or riots or any of the terrible things that seem to be a part of our daily lives now.
I pray for the world I envision to come to pass before we destroy the world we live in.
