Too much of a good thing

Shortly before the Provo Temple was dedicated, President Lee expressed his concern that the accessibility of the temple would cause some BYU students to attend the temple so often that they would neglect their studies. President Hinckley exhorted all of us to seek as much education as we can. Like the attending the temple too often, it is possible to spend too much time in pursuit of knowledge. The Web gives us virtually unlimited access to knowledge on a plethora of subjects. If we let our pursuit of knowledge via the internet interfere with our relationships and responsibilities in our families, then even the virtuous cause of learning can be taken too far.
