As I read in Mosiah 20 about the great difficulties the people of Limhi were in, with the great battle they had with the Lamanites, and their being outnumbered, and the bondage they were in, I can't help but think back to over-zealous Zeniff, the guy who started all this, the guy who wanted so badly to go back and inherit the original lands of the Nephites that he made rash judgement and foolish decisions. He made a compact with a deceitful and untrustworthy landlord. Here we see some of the long-term consequences of those decisions. The children and grandchildren are suffering greatly and remain in bondage because of those earlier decisions.
How can I learn to be more wise than them? Doesn't it have something do with "looking before you leap", doing your homework, sitting down and counting the cost before making a move?
