“Wickedness Never Was Happiness”
How can one find happiness in doing that which cannot, absolutely cannot, bring happiness? Those who follow the ways of the world may prosper by the world’s standards, but while doing so they will not know that peace of soul that comes through hearkening to the light within us, the light that bids us to do good. They may “have joy in their works for a season, and by and by the end cometh, and they are hewn down and cast into the fire, from whence there is no return” (3 Nephi 27:11). That is to say, “where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end” (D&C 76:112).
