"And when the servant of Helaman had known all the heart of Kishkumen, and how that it was his object to murder, and also that it was the object of all those who belonged to his band to murder, and to rob, and to gain power, (and this was their secret plan, and their combination) the servant of Helaman said unto Kishkumen: Let us go forth unto the judgment-seat."
Helaman 2:8
I know that this happens, and perhaps is even common, but I don't get it. Is power over other people so attractive that you would stoop to such sliminess? ... although it must be for some people. We all have our personal temptations and struggles. This scripture talks further about how they would join each other, because they were promised positions of power within the government. I don't understand how they could even trust each other if they were that slimy. What a horrible way to live. ... so, the lesson is: don't kill people to obtain power. :) Not that there was probably any danger... but just keep it in mind. :)
