Grey Matter.

Today, while sitting in my English class, I had a huge realization. My classmates were debating about African American literature and the "rights" and "privileges" of people, black vs. white, etc. As I was sitting there, I realized... Life is simple. Why do we over-complicate the sheer beauty of the simplicity of it all?

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is simple. He died for us, so that we could have a chance to live with our Heavenly Father once again.

Love is simple. We choose to live our lives with another person as our companion. And because we love that person, we treat them with kindness and respect.

Life is simple. We are here to go through trials and to experience things so that we can learn and become better.

There is nothing more beautiful than the simple things in life. The details are not what's important. So rather than spending our time debating over skin color and other unimportant things, we should try to focus on the simple fact that we are all sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father and we are here to be kind to others and to learn. The rest is simply grey matter.

That's all.

Simply beautiful.
