Our desires should be towards HIM.  Our strive for knowledge and plea for wisdom should be to HIM and for HIM, to help within HIS works in Love of others.  HE is the ONLY Truth.

Sometimes we feel "manipulated", as if pawns.  Pawn syndrome is a resultant of individualism.  The individual need to feel in control to justify the resultants, instinctual and hereditary.  Extending in assembly to create control, to justify  individual empowerment.  Many times leading to that which would be unthinkable as individuals, but also sometimes leading to good.  We can use anything for good or evil and should acknowledge such.

Happens to the best of us, even Moses.  We think we are responsible for HIS Gifts and wisdom created in delivery.  We think we are responsible for HIS Blessings and that we created everything.  We try to disprove HIM, yet plea for HIS help in need.  We have no desire to stand, because of what others will think.  Yet we are able to gang and stand against.  We are a sad bunch.
