Everyone has motives! People do things because they have motivation to do it in order to gain something. If what we seek after is upright and honorable then all is well, it's when we have to resort to scheming that all things fall apart. If scheming or manipulation is part of your motive, then you are already on a slippery slope into addictive behaviours. You wind up using people for your own personal gain. If you liked the outcome the first time you rely on tactics like that, then you are hooked.
Scheming, manipulation, drug use, alcoholism, thievery, prostitution, lying, rape, embezzling, and many more....All have the same motivation, to treat people like objects to be used and cheated. God hates that!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
If we don't know what is acceptable in society, then we certainly won't know what's acceptable with God. Coming to a realization of our actions starts with messages like this, just speaking the truth.
