Joy not only helps us do our gospel duties but it also increases our individuality. It is sinners who reflect such a stale sameness. Righteousness lends itself to individuality. Think, in contrast, of poor Lemuel, who “hearkened unto the words of Laman.” (1 Nephi 3:28) He was Laman’s satellite. One wonders if poor Lemuel ever had any thoughts of his own. -Neal Maxwell

There was a girl who always said
Her fate was very hard;
From the one thing she wanted most
She always was debarred.
There always was a cloudy spot
Somewhere within her sky;
Nothing was ever quite just right,
She used to say, and sigh.
And yet her sister, strange to say,
Who’s lot was just the same,
Found something pleasant for herself
In every day that came.
Of course, things tangled up sometimes,
For just a little while;
But nothing ever stayed all wrong,
She used to say, and smile.
So one girl sighed and one girl smiled,
Through all their lives together;
It didn’t come from luck or fate,
From clear or cloudy weather.
The reason lay within their hearts,
And colored all outside;
One chose to hope and one to mope,
And so they smiled and sighed.
