Opposition in all things

Today in my Book of Mormon class, we talked about opposition and the affect it has on our lives. In the scriptures it talks about how there must be opposition in all things. If we didn't have it, we wouldn't know good from bad, we wouldn't be happy or sad, etc. In 2 Nephi 2:11 it says, "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things..." I think it is really interesting how something so negative must be a part of our lives. I know that we need to have it, and I know that it allows us to tell the difference if good and bad, but it is just weird to think about. Today and in the past few weeks I have felt a lot of opposition in my life. As you all know General Conference is coming up this weekend. I am living in Rexburg Idaho attending BYU-I and didn't want to pass up the chance to go since am so close to Salt Lake. I tried to get tickets from my ward here, but was unsuccessful. After playing phone tag with my Steak President back home for two weeks, I was finally able to get 6 tickets for the Sunday afternoon session. I was sooo excited! I recieved the tickets today in the mail, but it was a bitter sweet moment for me. While waiting to recieve the tickets, I asked everyone I knew if they would be interested in going with me. Not one single person has said that they wanted to go. I offered them the ticket, and offered to drive...(as long as they give me gas money lol), but still nobody wants to go. I have only been to General Conference once, but it was amazing. To see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing, along with the huge organ, and to be there when the Prophet walks in is just an amazing experience that I do not want to pass up. You feel the spirit so strong. I just can't understand why nobody wants to go. After attending my Book of Mormon class, I started to think a bit more about opposition and the effect it is having in my life. I know that I must experience it, but I want to know why. Why does nobody want to go? Why would someone pass up this wonderful experience? I know that people are busy, etc, but I am just having a hard time understanding why nobody wants to go. I can tell that Satan is trying really hard to get me to not go to Conference. I just can't believe that so many people are passing up an opportunitiy like this.
