NOTE

The Importance of Educating Desires

Judgment is not solely about actions but also about desires, which stem from our beliefs about what is good. People desire what they think is good, yet often pursue things that are not genuinely beneficial due to misunderstandings about goodness. The desire for love and intimacy, for instance, can lead to misguided actions that cause harm, as exemplified by Corianton. The central issue lies not in wanting good but in being misinformed about what is truly good. Restoration and atonement involve educating individuals on the nature of goodness, enabling them to align their desires correctly. This insight fosters hope in the divine pursuit of understanding and truth, suggesting that when people learn what is genuinely good, they will naturally desire it and find fulfillment in the divine presence.
