“While we readily see the problem with a person being oblivious to or dismissive of his problematic thinking and behavior, we are not as quick to see the problem with someone obsessively dwelling on whatever negative aspect of himself that looms forth in his mind at the moment.

“We also know His creations are good because He pronounced them, Himself, to be good in the account of the creation. God also ordained mankind to be a wise steward over the earth and all things on it and to treat his creations with proper respect and care.

This intent is what transforms mortality into an extraordinary spiritual education!”
