We don’t always know what we want. I have noticed that people think they know what they want but it isn’t realistic, it is fantasy. Some girls want the “bad boy” but then are upset when he cheats on them or avoids them – those are the characteristics that make the “bad boy” a bad boy. It’s like in a way women feel like they should be “special” and magically change them.
R. Dale Jeffery: “Any dog inside a fence will bark and clamor to get out. But once they are out, most dogs run around for awhile, sniff out the territory, then sit down by the fence. This is because they focused only on getting out and never thought of what to do after they got out.
Many humans are the same way. We say, “I can’t wait to get out of high school,” or “I just want out of this relationship,” or “I’m just going to get through college as fast as I can.” In a missionary sense, we might say, “I can’t wait to get home/out of this area,” or “just wait until I get my new companion.”
But what are we doing now? Are we planning what to do and preparing our souls for the trials we’ll encounter on the other side? If not, then are we any different from the dog?”
