Behold, it is not expedient that we should have a king; for thus saith the Lord: Ye shall not esteem one flesh above another, or one man shall not think himself above another . . .
Mosiah. Chapter Twenty-Three. Verse 7.
I'm only better than myself each day I strive to be
more useful to my fellow man and full of charity.
And when I fail to follow through on bettering myself,
my conscience says "Look out, old boy -- they'll put you on the shelf!"
To be above another is to float on clouds of pride;
you're headed for perdition, and it's such a bumpy ride!
One flesh is like another, prone to virus and decay;
there is no exaltation till we come to Judgement Day.
