Adam and Eve, from LM

Choices are such a mixed blessing.  How much happier we are when we have the freedom to choose..............but how hard having those choices and freedoms are!!!  I think that women, especially,  always have their eye on the smorgasbord of choices and are afraid of making the wrong choice and then after finally  making my choice, I find it hard to be happy in it, wondering if I've missed anything.  Crazy.  I think it's why Lucifer was able to get through to Eve in the Garden of Eden.  She saw the world in living color and wanted to make sure that she was getting all the pieces.  Whereas, Adam, being a man, saw the world in black and white.  Thus is life was simpler, but not so progressive.  Eve was more complex and progressive, but needed the protection and grounding that Adam had to offer while Eve was the first to step out and risk.  I hate to be so labeling of men and women.  Sorry.  And of course, it would probably require a whole book to properly treat it.  But I really do think that women suffer with indecision in a way that men don't.  So...............what's the science behind that?????

  1. LM, your thoughts about Adam and Eve are perceptive. You are not labeling men and women when you draw comparisons. Are we not encouraged in the temple to do just that? Adam and Eve are our grand archetypes. What can they teach us?
