The songs, the philosophies and even the gospel teach that charity or love is more important than anything else or the only thing that endures. How do we obtain charity. Moroni says that you must pray with all of one´s one soul to possess it and to be filled with it, and charity makes the sacrifices and natural man melt away. That´s why giving also helps one to obtain charity--to stop learning to be so selfish. That selfishness is what is blinding me and it is what is robbing me of greater joy. It's what I'd like to work on.
Sometimes I feel I am blind. I don´t always see things as they really are. What an annoying thing!! What is it that blinds me? I think it´s laziness and too much focus on me. Serving and thinking of others helps one to understand how others think which helps one to better understand the world around him or her. I have really isolated myself from deep relationships in a way, I don´t contact my dear friends and forget about things if it has no benefit to me; quite selfish of me in all reality. How frustrating...:(
