Too Much Joy

we must always have faith and not fear. Even if we are being cursed at or even yelled at by a drunken man. The second being that the Lord not only guides us but blesses us with complete joy, though we may have to walk through some dark times, there is always, and I repeat, there is ALWAYS more happiness and joy that comes there after. Joseph Smith said when he was in Liberty jail, "O God, where art thou?...How long shall thy hand be stayed...Yea, O Lord, how long shall they suffer these wrongs…

There are no more wars and peace reigns with a secret…

“The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”, describes a utopian city, but not without a twist. With this piece, the author provokes the reader to question the morality of utilitarianism as both a citizen of the fictional city, and allegorically as a member of our world. Le Guin uses many literary tactics to compel the reader to be critical of her fictional society, primarily sharply contrasting imagery and metafictional writing techniques. The creation of two distinctly contrasting worlds, Omelas and…

They also want people to respect their choice, and stop being sexist, they don’t want to hear “A rock band?! Little silly girls like you can’t handle something like that!
