"And to bring about his eternal purposes in the
end of man, after he had created our first parents, and the beasts of the field
and the fowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the forbidden fruit in opposition to the tree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter. Wherefore, the Lord God gave unto man that he should act for himself. Wherefore, man could not act for himself save it should be that he was enticed by the one or the other."
II Nephi 2:15-16
Things To Act
It makes sense to limit a discussion of "things to act" to those "things" which make a conscious choice. This approach pretty much
limits "things to act" to human beings. After all we do not think of rocks or trees or even fish or animals as sitting down and weighing the consequences of two alternatives and making a conscious choice.
