It's not necessarily what you know, but WHO you know that's important.

For instance, I know ME and what makes me tick.

There are a select few who know me well enough to understand what makes me tick. We have a good and solid relationship, and we are there for each other in times of need.

Next comes those who just know me well enough to say hello or identify me in a police line-up. They don't really care to have a relationship with me and don't want my address/phone number.

Then come those who claim to know me, but have never even sat down with me. They (doctors) make themselves famous by writing about "the mystery of me" (familial amyloidosis) in their journals. It cracks me up to read their "expert" opinions on what they believe makes me tick. What relationship do they want with me? They want me for research, hoping to win a prize and make a name for themselves for finding a treatment for amyloidosis. There's only one catch - they want me dead first. I'm of no use to them alive because they only want to chop me into little pieces and look at me under a microscope.

So, yeah, maybe in addition to HOW WELL we know WHO, we should consider the relationship we want to have with WHO.

If we're talking about God - then I'd prefer to have a good and solid relationship with God.
