Reading Littlewing's thread made me wonder practically out load why Mormons never or seldom advise a person, "Hey, whatever makes you happy," as in, "Well, if you really love him... Whatever makes you happiest is best."
To quote the Mormon scripture, "Man is, that he might have joy." It would seem that that is yet another uniquely Mormon passage that Mormons themselves don't really believe or practice, or do so only in the narrowest and contrived ways. In this one regard, there is something seriously f*cked up about Mormonism. I learned far too late in life, only as my own kids were leaving home, that I could just surrender my pride and say to them to just be happy.
