conspiracy theories against you

There's a #Midrash that explains in great detail how Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and On all came together to conspiracy against Moses. What I don't understand is: how could anyone oppose Moses at this point in the story? Witnessing the ten plagues,Manna in the desert would have be enough for me, let alone the revelation of Torah on Mount Sinai. How could Korah not have complete confidence in Moses's leadership? #Korah new #Moshe had a direct connection with Gd; why would Korah doubt Moshe's decision making ? And what does Korah behavior teach us about the nature of individuals who conspire against the righteous? How does Gd deal with people who conspire against the righteous? Interesting enough, it was a similar conspiracy which led to the Israelites being in Egypt to begin with. When? When Yoseph's brothers conspired against him out of jealousy. Ultimately, Yoseph's brothers felt the world would be better for them if #Yoseph was no longer around. Comparable Korah felt a similar way about Moses's leadership decisions. Also it's interesting to note: the Israelites were very dependent on Moses in the beginning but later on (Korah rebellion) wanted to destroy him... Attempting to take Moshe's position with #Gd. The moral of the story is... people whom are the most #codependent will eventually turn against you; but have no fear, nature will turn against them 1st, swallowing their conspiracies. Have compassion for those who support conspiracies against you cuz they're going to the same place as Korah's Team did...
