“the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other” 2 Nephi 2:16
What is enticing about opposition? What is attractive about the setbacks, the disasters, the "bad" things that happen to us?
Why does choosing to be unhappy seem to feel better than choosing to be happy?
When we choose to be unhappy, it is because we found unhappiness to be more attractive than the countering happiness.
Why?
Because for that particular unhappiness, there is a belief that we hold that allows choosing unhappiness to make our life make sense. We gain a sense of satisfaction, because we proved ourself "right".
So ask yourself - Does it feel better to be happy, or to be right?
