"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.
