History… stories… opinions… History is merely stories. Events recorded by individuals. These individuals witnessed what was happening around them to the best of their ability and formulated their thoughts or opinions. This leads full circle to what we know as documented history. We have all seen the examples in our lives but let me refresh us.
Colonizers came from their mother country to establish a new land. After some time these colonizers became unhappy. From here we have diverging stories. The mother country begins to see unruly citizens that are causing direst and trouble. They enact laws and statutes to try and bring the situation under control. These citizens only become more unhappy and eventually revolt leading to war. On the other hand the citizens would tell you of unjust ruling, unfair democracy and justified revolt to obtain their deserved rights and freedoms. Two sides feeling justified, but who was right…
A man takes power by public vote in a country. He see’s the negative effects of the modern economic system and wants change. There are rich people and poor people and this seems unjust, so he cries for social justice. A solution of everyone getting an equal share. So he takes action. Other’s see a system of greed and wealth that is not perfect, but has been a greater success than any other system in history to date. They don’t want to change to a system that has been tried and failed, but want to make the best of their current system of freedom. Who is right in this story.
Life is full of history, stories and opinions. Every story has two sides and each side will claim it’s stance as correct. Sometimes you get both stories and sometimes you just get the survivors side of the story. As you come across your own stories you will have to decipher right and wrong. One can count on hard decisions because life deals hard situations. I plea we make the right decisions in our personal lives and and in the path of our nations.
I have faith we can observe and make the right choices because we have in the past. A time ago we were all together and were faced with one of the greatest decisions in our history. Our Father wanted us to progress further and become like him. We needed to gain mortal bodies and prove we could abide the laws of our Father’s home and be like our Father. Two plans were presented by two of our brothers.
Our eldest brother wanted to give us freedom to chose our actions when we gained bodies. This would require him to sacrifice his life to allow us the opportunity to overcome our wrongs and make our return.
The other brother offered to give us no choice but guarantee our return to our Father, it required no sacrifice on his part or ours. Since our Father loved us he gave us the choice to follow who we wanted, but he let us know that our eldest brother’s plan was correct and would be the plan he would use.
A great war of sorts followed in which all our Father’s children (our family) worked towards our personal decision on which plan to stand behind. Ultimately one third of our brothers and sisters chose the plan offering no choice and going against the will of our Father. They are not here today, but we are because we chose the right plan.
What choices are you making now? You made the right one and came here, but are you sticking to that decision?
