"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens the mind of another"- Mishle 27:17

To be a "know it all" to arrogantly think that we have all the answers, that it is our way or the highway is testimony to a voluntarily dull mind.
As no matter how brilliant we may feel we are , we only have our perspective.
Even G-d who does not need us said “Let us make man in our image” (1:26)(where G-d "consulted" the angels)and immediately afterwards it is said “And G-d created man in His image"
So why the "Let us..." ? G-D does not need the opinion of anyone.I would suggest ,to teach us , among many other things, the value of dialogue , being open to hearing and learning from others ,from different perspectives .
For we are all different expressions of G-d on our unique journeys and learning from( not necessarily agreeing with) each other can widen our vision , broaden perspectives, reveal potential allow us to taste the delectable side of life that we may not have appreciated before.

A major source of tension, stress,depression etc is the power we give our thoughts.Through engaging them , due to the resultant ripple effect ,if they overstay their welcome ,we give them control over our bodies ,language, actions, reactions etc causing needless havoc in our lives.

When we learn that our thoughts are powerless and G-D decides what will be not our thoughts then we recognize them for what they are mere illusions which are given misleading life by our engaging them and then no matter how horrific they may be we can let them play out like a movie and we are under no obligation to watch and we will eventually realize that we can change the movie..

When we do change the movie,choose more positive empowering thoughts that are aligned with our Divine design then G-D's counsel fills our lives and then the meaningful redeeming life that was meant to be has the best chance of coming to be.
