Mormons (I am a Mormon just in case you didn't know) believe that before we lived on this Earth that we lived as spirits with God in a spiritual world which we call Premortal Life. We believe that God asked for a plan and Jesus proposed that we have agency and we are able to make our own choices whether they be good or bad and the plan of the atonement and how he would pay for our sins and the Lucifer stated that if he was given all the glory he would make sure that everyone would make the right choice and we would all return to live with God. As it goes on there was a war (there is lots of speculation about whether it was a real war or more of a discussion) but we were all given a choice between what plan we want and it is said that 1/3 of the spirits chose Lucifer and were cast out with him creating Satan. We believe that if you are here on this earth with a body that you chose Christ's plan.
I believe this. And maybe you don't. But this plan that I believe we choose is based all around agency. The power that you can do whatever you want. This being said it allows us to love and care. It also allows us to be cruel and hateful.
We are on this earth with a body that was given to us and we are able to feel, think, and experience the world around us. Sometimes we hate feelings and the pain is too much. But think about never being able to love someone and no matter what happens whether you break up, move away, or they pass away you were able to experience love and those memories can never be taken away. Love, happiness, pain, and sadness all exists and you will feel all these things but for every bad time there is a good time.
This is your life. Make it count.
