Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle; and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.

Dallin H. Oaks

When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life. . . We are meant to learn and grow through opposition, through meeting our challenges, and through teaching others to do the same. . . the Lord will not only consecrate our afflictions for our gain, but He will use them to bless the lives of countless others.

Simple and more frequent dates allow both men and women to ‘shop around’ in a way that allows extensive evaluation of the prospects. The old-fashioned date was a wonderful way to get acquainted with a member of the opposite sex. It encouraged conversation. It allowed you to see how you treat others and how you are treated in a one-on-one situation. It gave opportunities to learn how to initiate and sustain a mature relationship. None of that happens in hanging out
