What Are You Thinking? by Elder Zwick

This address struck me when I watched it for the first time during Conference weekend. The story he tells about his wife and him at the start is a personal one, and I appreciate that he and his wife consented to share it.

One lesson I feel I learn from the address is that when emotions run high, and crazy stuff happens, and tempers are lost and perhaps angry words expressed or exchanged in the heat of the moment, that those are the times when we need to remember cool off, slow down, embrace each other, and don't let a hazardous situation become a fatal one. I like how he says we should express the underlying emotions of love for each other, or fear for each other's safety, that may have had an influence on our words or actions in the heated situation.

I like this reminder from the First Presidency:

The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us to love and treat all people with kindness and civility—even when we disagree (First Presidency letter, Jan. 10, 2014).
