                " You cannot do wrong and feel right, it's impossible."
                                                                            - Ezra T. Benson




         My thoughts about this quote go right above the clouds. Most of us do wrong once a while. It's impossible to do wrong and feel right because our nature is different. We learn to do the right thing since we are born. We are taught to be humble and give up our seats for the old lady on the bus, to not cheat on a test, to always tell the truth, but we are not perfect. Yes, we lie most of the time it's okay and of course you are going to feel bad about it because obviously you are not unintelligent enough to not know you did something bad. But we learn from our mistakes, that's the only good feeling you get when you do something wrong. You learn to not do it again, if we trip on a rock you are not going to trip against the SAME rock again for the second time. That's logical enough. I believe most quotes about Ezra T. Benson are about doing good things which is something we can all do with out putting a lot of effort. For example, you can help and tutor your friend instead of letting him cheat off you o every math test. Or simply give the lunch you find disgusting to someone who needs the food and actually finds it fulfilling to his stomach. In conclusion there are other aspects in doing wrong and feeling good because not always wrong things are considered bad.

     " When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad I feel bad."
                                                - Abraham Lincoln
                                          
     This quote by Abraham Lincoln says it all, even the line says it all. When we do good for either a person or for ourselves, we feel good about it. We have this feeling of happiness that fulfills our soul and tells us "High five, you did good." Like when we do good in a test because we studied until 3 AM last night or when we gave money to a homeless man in the streets. All those are examples of when we do good and we feel good about it. in contrast when we do bad the opposite happens. We have the sensation of guilt and stress because we know sooner or later the truth will come out. Yup, we have all been through a situation of whether or not we should be condor and tell the truth once and for all, but we know if we tell the truth we are going to get more into trouble if we tell a lie. So that's probably we all take the easy way out a lie. But later on in life we still go back to the situation and we keep thinking about it over and over again. Yes, we feel bad and guilty although it might have not gotten no body hurt it still makes you feel bad. So that is why we should choose the right and do good most of the time. If we know something we are doing is bad, simply take the other route and leave situations that would lead you to trouble alone. Because when you do bad you feel bad. So you should always try to do good things for people and for yourself because what you get in return is something more valuable than money can buy.

                                           Obedience
     "The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
                                                                                                  - Boyd K. Parker

        The reason why most people end up in jail is because they do the opposite of obedience. A person does not get locked up behind bars because they do the right they are put into jail for doing the wrong thing. If you decide to obey the rules and commit yourself to doing the right thing all throughout your life you would have more freedom. Not just freedom of being out of jail but also the spiritual freedom of feeling good about your actions and good deeds. Freedom is not something you have to work for if you just obey and choose the right, freedom would come to you.

                                                                                           - The 9/11 Attack

Image result for 9/11      
         Every now and then we go back into history and think about all the brave people there once was. When we think about brave we think about the firefighter's who risk their lives to help people. But on September 11, 2001 not only did firefighters show there braveness but so did the people of New York. The 9/11 attack was a tragic moment in history where more than 2,996 people were killed and approximately 6,000 more were critically injured. The twins towers, known as the centerpieces of the World trade Center was the target of the Islamic attack against the U.S.  Imagine being in one of these floors and having no escape except jumping out the window or staying inside waiting for death. Many people were brave and had the courage of risking 2-3 bones in order to save their lives. Of course many did not make it but in my opinion trying was the best thing they could of done in their last moments of life. 

         After this tragic attack New York was able to re-build themselves and prosper eight years after. Every single one of the victims of the 9/11 attack were carved on the memorial museum.

                               " Obedience is the great test of life"
                                                -Thomas S. Monson
                                 Image result for obedience

    Obey, it seems so simple, but to our nature we are most likely to break a rule or two ... hundred. If  you think about it obedience is a necessary element of life. Most of our lives are spent either at home or at school. In both places we are told what to do and we are in the choice of whether to obey our parents and teachers or to disobey. To our own benefits we aim to obey our elders because that's the right thing to do. But if there was no favorable results to our good actions would people still obey the rules? We are taught to obey because in return we get blessings but when I think about it that way it seems more of a "you give me this and I give you that" action. In my opinion people should be obedient for their own will, excluding the fact that you are getting something in return. Being a good person is not expensive it just takes a little bit of effort to persuade your instincts to do the right thing. At the end of the trip you won't regret a single thing you did if you decide to obey and choose the right in everything you do.
