Emerson pleaded, "Give me truths: for I am weary of the surfaces." Emerson like us all sought for truth and wanted something more than surface truths. Too often we realize we have been looking for truth among the inane and superficial things in life. The greatest truths aren't found among what we devote the largest amounts of our time to.
Elder Neal A. Maxwell said, "it isn't only the morticians who will have a vocational crisis in the next world. We all will if we fail to take the time to develop attributes that are eternal and portable!" When all other truths become obsolete; the truths of the gospel, and the attributes of Christ will remain firm and portable. These truths and attributes we must seek; for they are what will bring us happiness!

Kim, that is so true about the truths of the gospel, and the attributes of Christ bringing us the most happiness. We just need to stay near to the gospel and Christ, as that is where we will feel the most love and happiness. What better place to turn for answers.
By the way I miss the last poem you put up on here. I think it was your best one ever. I would have left it up. It had great meaning to it!!
Truths are extremely powerful in our lives, and yet many people do not recognize them, or their strength. Truth can provide us with sturdy base in our lives and can help us when it seems like everything else in our world is crumbling apart around us. As it tells us in the Bible, "the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." Eternal truths are important in our lives, now as well as in the eternities.
