I've been wanting to tell this story for a long time. I'm going to have to do it anonymously though, and I'm going to have to be very vague about it as well.
Many years ago, I knew this guy who blamed all of his problems on the fact that he'd never served a mission. He blamed his failed marriages, the fact that he lost complete custody of his children, his inability to take responsibility, and many other problems in his life on the fact that he'd never served a mission.
Fast-forward about twenty something years. I find out that this person is having even more severe problems in his life. I find out that it's so bad that's it's completely changed his personality. When I knew him, he was a quite jovial person, despite the fact that he was irresponsible. I'd heard he'd changed into a bitter, paranoid, mean, critical, and mentally abusive jerk.
All I could think of was how he was probably still blaming his problems on his lack of mission attendance. Of course, I also think that he was always that mean person, but hid it in past times. That's why he had all those failings, not because of any breaking of Morg rules.
