Men are that they might have joy

Today as I was taking a break from my exhausting work on data I read the latest posts on one of my favorite blogs, no impact man. On today's post the author asked an interesting question: are we here to be happy? The idea was to have a lot of people comment on what they thought. A lot of people mentioned that they thought that happiness was good, but that we should be caring for people and the environment. In fact, so many people said almost the exact same thing that I started to get worried. Is ours the only religion that believes that God intends for us to find joy?

Thankfully, we have the Book of Mormon to tell us these things. Maybe those people don't realize that true joy comes from doing what we know in our hearts is the right thing to do?

  1. Doesn't caring about others (showing charity) bring us joy? The world seems to have not figured that out yet. They seem to be worried more about doing what is politically and socially right and less about what is spiritually and morally right. little do they know that doing what is right spiritually is what will bring them joy.
