3 Nephi 4

(May 21, 2010)
What struck me in this chapter was Momon’s description of the robbers – that “there was no way that they could subsist save it were to plunder and rob and murder.”  As I read it, I wondered how well it applied to the many – people who could not be productive on their own – they are obligated to steal by force from other more productive members of society.  I also worry about whether it applies to me – but as I consider it as honestly as I can I do not think that it does.
