Ethics

As Latter-Day Saints we take upon ourselves the name of Christ, and promise to always be witnesses of Him. This includes being honest and truthful in all our dealings with our fellow men. We all have the light of Christ in our lives that tells us what is wrong and what is right. We have the moral obligation to always do the right thing, to be real and honest followers of Christ. It is important to always keep our standards high. To treat other people with the same respect with which we want to be treated. We must be true to the faith and do our bests to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. We will do honest work, and we will use the knowledge we have to be ethical and lawful.

#LDSConf

I originally went to twubs as was suggested, but quickly noticed that not much was going on there and found out that everyone had jumped over to twitterfall and went there. It was definitely and interesting experience watching tweet after tweet just stream across the page. There were so many tweets, that I couldn't read them all. Every once in a while there was something negative that someone tweeted, but for the most part they were positive and uplifting. It was fun to see all the jokes and  references to common themes in past conferences. Overall I would have to say that my experience was a positive one, it helped me to pick up on things that didn't really sink in or that I missed while just listening, and I think it will help me to better internalize those things.

Addictions

Addictions come in many forms, people normally think of drugs and alcohol as the main forms of addictions. It has been discovered though that internet addictions, such as pornography and online gaming, create just as strong, if not stronger, addictions than those substances. The release the same chemicals in your brain that stimulate the desire, the need to have the thing you are addicted to. These addictions are very dangerous, and are very real. They destroy relationships, marriages, and families. People must be careful what they allow themselves to indulge in, they have to limit themselves in order to protect themselves.
