I guarantee after about 90 seconds in Antarctica, you would be wishing for 117f😁. Maybe hell has already frozen over. Where is it -85 F in Antarctica? It's dead in the middle of winter there, and I would have thought it way colder. But then I go check and it turns out that the coldest it ever got there (in recorded history anyway) was -128, at Vostok Station. Which isn't too far off -85. I bet I couldn't tell the difference, anyway.

I am with a refugee organization that moves furniture and household goods into refugee apartments. Last week in our planning group someone made a typo about a setup for today that we all found appropriate: "Plan on me and at least one other person to hell with the set up Wednesday."

I think part of the learning the Truth (which for me is God’s understanding of the universe and all that is in it) to the best of our ability post death will be understand the suffering our poor choices caused in others...and if we don’t allow ourselves to fully accept God’s Atonement that heals all, we won’t be able to fully know for ourselves that this suffering is over and done with and all has been turned to the good of those who accept Christ. So we not only may see the tracks of this suffering in those around us who have also rejected the Atonement, but we may not be able to get our heads around the fact we can no more harm those who turned to Christ in their pain. I know how some of my good intentioned mistakes haunt me, I cannot imagine how if I had taken joy at the time in harming someone and then later was able to understand that pain I caused for my pleasure...how could that not eat at me? It is also very human to desire contradictory things...such as a wonderful, stable, loving home life and an exciting, pleasure driven, over the top ‘social’ life (sex, drugs, rock and roll) or being able to have every luxury we ever thought would be cool and being able to care for the needy. Such things are impossible to fully coexist in mortality if only because of our limited resources (ignoring the problems otherwise created by selfish, me always first desires) and many are likely impossible even when resources and time are unlimited. I wonder if such contradictions in desires will still exist for us when we get what is most important to us, whatever that is. If those in the Terrestrial and Telestial still hold less strong desires that can’t be filled given their more desired desires since they have not aligned their hearts and minds to the will of God, which is probably the only approach where all desires can be truly and fully fulfilled because they are not only righteous and loving, but the ultimate in rationality, surely living with desiring the unattainable must be painful in some way.
