I have no objections to the Provo Pulse. The Deseret News is actually a Church-owned newspaper, and while it seems to operate with a high degree of journalistic freedom, I don't think it's ever going to be mistaken for an anti-Mormon source, not even by me, in spite of its freedom to explore topics that might make Mormons uncomfortable. <BR/><BR/>The issue of <B><A HREF="http://mormanity.blogspot.com/2004/05/mormons-and-suicide-real-stats.html" REL="nofollow">suicide in Utah has been addressed in the past on this blog</A></B>.

I had severe back pain not long ago and my parents suggested that I go to the doctor and get some pills to ease the inflammation. My train of thought was, that's all well and good for the symptoms but it doesn't relieve the problem, I ended up going to a chiropractor and I don't feel the pain because he has fixed the problem. I think people often turn to drugs as a cure all. Saying that they don't need to change the situation because they can change how they feel. Obviously this builds a dependency on the drug and not on the situations we put ourselves in.<BR/><BR/>I think the stress of trying to live the commandment to "be thou perfect" is a hard task. I know that I do desperately want this but I realise that we are not commanded to be perfect right this very second. It will take time, and we should never lose the want to reach that goal. Even living the 10 commandments is hard. I slip up, I get back up and strive to succeed. I wonder how many are depressed because they may have slipped up and don't want to expose that they are not perfect. They may also lose their temple recommend, which is not very nice as I found out. It may not be nice but we certainly need to own up to the problems we have so that we can tackle them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-82898648864251864532007-10-10T18:08:00.000-05:002007-10-10T18:08:00.000-05:00Oh boy.
