The same with God and Moses when asked if He should destroy all created.
Solomon knew that it is what we do with our talents, and everything comes from God. God gives us all and the way we use what is given is judged and disciplined as a Father to a child.
I guess what I am ‘trying’ to say is that being smart will only get you so far… Wisdom comes from knowing where the knowledge comes from…
This is not an easy lesson to learn – at least not for me! I am still clay in the hands…
Yes. And thus the "part" who does not know (or care) "where the knowledge comes from" thinks he can improvise his own rules as he goes along -- assuming he thinks he needs "rules" in the first place. Some of our most eminent contemporary "innovators of thought" (e.g., Jacques Derrida, Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, et al.) seem to have "authoritatively" decided that the necessarily partial human-personal view of things isn't any particularly fatal problem with respect to deciding questions about the truth of reality in its fullness.
I think and believe such folk are in error. For the part is not superior to the whole; the part does not and cannot constitute or intend the whole -- of which it is a tiny, though not necessarily typical (let alone universal), part.
