I pray for trials in my life to help me grow closer to Christ. So this reading got me thinking about if that is a righteous desire?
I actually read this one this morning in my scripture study. "Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." (D&C 123:17)
I would like to emphasize that this was written by Joseph Smith while in Liberty Jail. What faith! We are to do every righteous thing that we can do, but then we're supposed to stand still with faith that the Father will provide.
So my question is; are trials a righteous thing to pursue, and at what point to we know that we have done all things within our power?
Alder is basically saying that true learning is always painful. Does learning always have to be painful? He also talks about how you can't really learn from things like radio and television. Is that true?
As stated above in many instances. Why can't learning be fun? I have found that interactive learning is way easier to pay attention to. Can learning be fun if you put work into it?
I read this and this question kept reoccurring in my brain:
ReplyDeleteSo... are we supposed to want to suffer?

Hope that made sense! :D
Why can't learning be fun? It's just me as a Type 1, I suppose, but if learning isn't fun for me, I really don't want to do it. :p
ReplyDeleteI also I have another question: Thinking for me I think is relieving. Why does Adler say that it's fatiguing. How is learning for you?
And one more! (I think :D) I'm afraid of pain, and afraid of hurt. Is that a bad thing?
How we make learning more enjoyable?
ReplyDeleteWhy cant the natural man have to always want whats easiest?
I just realized this didn't post...
ReplyDeleteIF you do find learning fun: why is it fun for you and what makes it fun?
IF you don't find learning fun: why don't you find it fun?
And last one: why do people think you have to have 'fun' to enjoy learning?

ReplyDeleteWhat other ways can we pursue rather than avoid pain? Other than praying for it of course. :)
