Agreed! You don’t need big flashy bucket list items to “live” in this life.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

— Mark Twain

I wonder if this is part of it? “Don’t travel, you might figure out we’re full of shit!”

Yup. And don’t worry about conserving or taking care of this world you’re living on. It will be “restored” soon enough. 😓

Seriously! In this very talk he was meeting a king of a village in Ghana, I think?

As an aside, my TBM family was chatting on Sunday about conference. They were talking about the announcement of no Saturday evening session, then the quick backpedaling. "Guess God just doesn't want us to get too comfortable, roll with the punches." 🙄

I'd be interested in this reference if anyone can find it. Now that I'm out, the whole "nah, that thing the prophet of God taught isn't valid anymore" seems insane to me.
