And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. The wise have no mind of their own, finding it in the minds of ordinary people. They're good to good people and they're good to bad people. Power is goodness. They trust people of good faith and they trust people of bad faith.
Power is trust.
They mingle their life with the world, they mix their mind up with the world. Ordinary people look after them. Wise souls are children. Even sinners do the same. Even sinners do that.
