the premise is at least among us is that you do what you know and when you know better you do better great in theory but if you believe you know everything how then can you be any better than what you are when you are not willing to know more than you do especially when even the One who created us all is still waiting to know how we each will end up as we have been told to work out our own salvation meaning we each are not predestined for our ultimate outcome so if even God does not know everything does it not behoove each of us to consider that we might be wrong if the fruit of our efforts is not yielding the expected results and that we must be open to the knowledge that will allow us to reap better fruits and only in the arrogance of weakness do we stubbornly continue on a fruitless journey  when God has a plan that will proceed with or without our involvement depends on what we choose so the question becomes what is the worst thing that can happen if we in spite of our nature admit we might be wrong for the right reasons or that we are right in our pursuit but for the wrong reasons like the prodigal son when he came to himself and woke up at the end of it all things work together for good as we develop the character that allows us to make the choices that produce an undisappointing hope as He waits for each of us to write our individual final chapter
