Eph. 4:19; 1 Ne. 17:45
“A sex saturated society cannot feel the needs of its suffering members because instead of developing the love that looks outward, it turns man selfishly inward. Imperviousness to the promptings of the still small voice of God will also mean that we have ears, but cannot hear, not only the promptings of God but also the pleas of men… . We shut out people, nature, and God.” (Neal A. Maxwell, A Time to Choose, pp. 59-60, 71)
“People who wrongly celebrate their capacity to feel finally reach a point where they lose much of their capacity to feel! … Such individuals become ‘past feeling.’ When people proceed ‘without principle,’ erelong they will be ‘without civilization,’ ‘without mercy,’ and ‘past feeling’ (see Moro. 9:11-20). Such individuals do not experience real joy, such as being quietly and deeply grateful to a generous God, or of helping to restore those who ‘droop in sin’ ( 2 Ne. 4:28), or of gladly forgoing praise and recognition so that it might flow, instead, to parched souls.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, May 1995, pp. 67-68)
