What is the most important aspect of human behavior?

Obedience to the Commandments, Laws and Statutes of Heavenly Father! Thus it would have to be ‘agency’ which for the purposes of this reply means ‘the ability to choose to be obedient or to not be obedient.’ This is the area most attacked by Satan whose whole plan had taken away ‘agency’. Thus Satan has had to change the meaning of the word agency to fit his dominion or that of the world. Part and parcel of this would be found in the word contention or justification. One of biggest, if not the only, reason for conflict is one person trying to take away another’s agency and subject them to their own. (Reread the last sentence!) One cannot have ‘agency’ taken away from him/her – only they can give it away – and they do this by choices over a period of time. Sometimes innocently and sometimes knowingly we each make decisions which will determine compromise, foolishness or obedience.

Without obedience – the kind generated by love and understanding – one is up for the wiles and guile of the world. Father expects loving and willing obedience – while the world treats obedience as abhorrent and repulsive – unless of course it’s to them! Thus the idea of many choices all equally good – or detestably horrible (making sure none would choose under normal circumstances). The world understands the need for one to feel they’re making their own decisions – using media, follywood, Madison Ave., music, TV and whatever influence they can exert peer pressure with.

In the understanding we’re all strangers here – and thus we’re unique to those in the world who feel or have been let to think they’re here for the duration of life – so live it now or regret not doing so later. It teaches one to be in style – in all ways – and thus human behavior actually does align itself with the world – wanting to be accepted into the world and just happy being a stranger here. Look at this like the starving child looking into the bakery’s window – dreaming of being inside – warm – well fed and thus happy!

Thus the two ways – either to understand our agency – accepting the responsibility and accountability which goes with being a child of God! Otherwise one is simply required to partially give up their birth right in the confusion/contention and misrepresentation of their agency.
