Question:
If Heavenly Father puts all of us in the situations and gives us the opportunities to help us grow the most, then why are there still people that choose not to be all that they have the potential to be? What makes some people more righteous than others?
Answer:
It has to do with our spirit creation (when our spirit was created in the pre-mortal life). Heavenly Father didn't decide who would be more intelligent than others (Intelligence: recognizing truth and light). It was the miracle of our spirit's birth. It was randomly decided what we would be made of (haha). Can you imagine why He couldn't have been the one? He loves us all, so why would he make you more intelligent then me or vise versa;) It would go against who God is and what He stands for.
If our goal is to be perfect or become as God, then I would say we need a pretty high level of intelligence. It is a primary goal for us to continue to grow and develope to reach that final level of intelligence, perfection. We all have different levels of intelligence. So...for some, it will take longer than others (On a side note: think of Christ and how high his level of intelligence was when he was living on the earth!) to reach this final level. Just because it takes some longer than others to accomplish this, it doesn't mean that the fast ones are better people. No, the amazing thing is the fact that no matter how long it will take you, we all get to the same final destination and earn the same glorious blessings! All we have to do is keep searching to increase our intelligence. That's right! Our intelligence can increase! That's why our most important decision to make on this earth is to choose the Lord in all we do, even if it requires sacrifice, because God is the source of truth and light my dear friends.
Happiness incorporates perfection. To be perfect is to be the fullness of happy and to be the fullness of happy is to be perfect.
