It is an arrogant man that thinks himself a god. And an arrogant god, thought Tieren, looking to the window, that thinks himself a man.

About This Quote

It is an arrogant man that thinks himself a god. And an arrogant god, thought Tieren, looking to the window, that thinks himself a man. The arrogance of men is unfortunately not just relegated to men. God too acts with arrogance.

He thinks himself the creator of the world and thus deserving of worship. The arrogant gods have made all other beings their slaves and have turned everything upside down. They have created evil, suffering, and death.

They have also led people to worship them instead of listening to their own higher powers. God has created Man in his own image, but Man does not resemble God at all. Man is free to create his own destiny but finds that he has been dealt a bad hand by the Gods who dared to create it for him.
