Hi Yasashiku

Thanks for clarifying my words in the Mormon section, I agree they needed some work. I am, however, still trying to wrap my head around this phrase: "It follows that, to experience infinite joy, one must come to know infinite suffering at some point in this life or the next, whether personally or vicariously through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.[94]" I think to express it this way is too deep for the uninformed reader, and it lacks a good reference from a book or article that shows it's not just your own interpretation. To say the suffering we experience is "infinite" will be read by most people as either lasting forever or being infinitely horrible (or both) which is not what Mormons believe must be experienced in order to learn. So I think it's better to stick to a more general commentary around the concept of Moses 6:55, that during mortality we "taste the bitter, that they may know to prize the good"
