There was a time when enemies of truth attempted to use science and intellectualism as a weapon. Those days appear to be past. The enemies of truth have become so progressive that even science is not extreme enough for them. Those who once looked upon others with disdain, that did not share their scientific view, have become science deniers themselves. The time is upon us long prophesied in the Bible when good and evil would be mislabeled.
This type of thinking error has even been used as an attempt to undermine mathematics. In addition to lacking rigor, woke attempts to assign individually subjective meaning to math symbols goes against the entirety of reason. Such profound lack of understanding results only in absurdity. It's basically like trying to argue with the universe.
Truth doesn't care about your feelings. Truth was once sought after by society in the quest for wisdom. No longer. Scientists and intellectuals are afraid to continue decades upon decades of objective research for fear their findings will be shouted down by activist professors. Moral relativism has become self-contradicting.
"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Mosiah 3:19
What do we want out of life? If what we want is only temporary, God allows us to pursue it. In so doing, we find neither lasting happiness nor joy. We may have some semblance of emotional attachment but only until we die. Those that neglect the temple path will remain separate and single. Becoming totally in love with someone, knowing we are going to lose them when we die, is not the tragic fate desired for us by God. He created a plan for us before creating this world; His Son Jesus fulfilled that plan. The Savior has infinite power to redeem us if we are willing. Through Him we are reborn and our nature is changed.
God knows the way to lasting, permanent family relationships. He has provided the only means for those relationships to endure. We have to decide what we want. God will force no man to heaven. If what we truly want is temporary, God allows the choice. It is up to us to decide.
