(He also misuses the value his inner gifts as he crosses the moral boundaries by stealing the heart of Te'Fiti -- where the power of creation lies -- which overcompensates for the advancing trend of civilization that Maui wanted to keep up with)]]> 2017-10-01 03:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192721511 mayzura_m https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192721781 Maui abuses his inner gifts to garner the love, admiration and validation from humanity that he never felt when he was a child. He did this by enriching humanity with civilization and nature. 
- so NOT an object of labour, but an object of redemption.
- he wanted to "appear to be selfless" when he actually just wanted to be revered & heroized
- creates a FALSE gift for the people, but the people are not aware of it.]]> 2017-10-01 03:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192721781 mayzura_m https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192721899 He did not abuse it because he only wanted to help people, perceiving his inner gifts that Hyde defines as “an object of labour”. He only wanted to make use of the fishhook that he was gifted with, simply to help people. 
- a genuine gift for his people, because he did not want to waste the value of his powers
- the gods gave that to him not simply as a souvenir, but to be a hero to his people who are in need]]> 2017-10-01 03:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192721899 mayzura_m https://padlet.com/mayzura_m/ta3g3gwzu969/wish/192722132 Still, he abused his powers by stealing the heart of Te'Fiti, the power of creation, to humanity, completely ignoring the moral boundaries, which is entirely counterproductive to the higher gods' purpose of entrusting him with the powers.
- characteristically, he is still a teenage boy and he is a demigod, so he feels entitled to take such dangerous efforts.
- he went too far, reckless overcompensation to keep up with upward trend of humanity
