Saving Ethics

“If ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth” (Moroni 7:46). A man without charity is a man who does not seek a better world and nor does he seek peace. Selfishness creates conflict meanwhile charity places someone’s personal interests aside in order to resolve or prevent problems. If we all exercise charity, our society will flourish and our societal issues will decrease immensely. A society that exercises near perfect charity will have public safety, honest leaders, happier citizens, and healthy progression. What can we do to practice charity and encourage others to love one another?

Digital Abuse

Technology is like medicine, it treats a specific problem to make conditions better. Electronic media treats boredom, the Internet treats communication limitations, software treats weaknesses in business, and more. However, medicine needs to be taken in proper doses and for proper treatments. Medicine overdosing is lethal to one’s health and consuming medicine when healthy causes illness. Likewise, technology has similar side effects when technology is abused. Too much gaming can harm social lives and prevent social interaction. Also, technology opens a pathway for destructive material, such as pornography, to enter into our lives and destroy what matters most. Just like medicine, technology heals when used properly and with appropriate time usage.
