Don’t Trade Long-term Happiness for Short-term Praise

Hanging dead stuff on your body to impress other people doesn’t make any sense.

But that’s what people do who trade long-term happiness for short-term worldly praise.

These words from Moroni are powerful:

“Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies – because of the praise of the world?”

“Why do you adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?”

- Mormon 8:37-39
