A few notes from Elder Christopherson

A great talk worth reviewing. Here are a few excerpts that I found interesting.

"Every man walketh in his own way and after the image of his own god. As a consequence Self discipline has eroded and societies are left to try to maintain order and civility by compulsion. The lack of internal control by individuals breeds external control by governments."

"Our increased reliance on laws to regulate behavior is a measure of how uncivilized we have become."

"There could never be enough rules so finely crafted as to anticipate and cover every situation. And even if there were enforcement would be impossibly expensive and burdensome. This approach leads to diminished freedom for everyone."

Elder D. Todd Christopherson
