an answer to the question: "what happens if you place the power of god in the hands of man"?

[for the record "man" and "mankind" are used to refer to all of society. this includes women, men, transgender, cis, and any others who recognize themselves as members of our planets population and society as a whole. so for anyone who is NOT a male [or identifies as such equal to anything non-male], replace "man", "mankind", "he", etc. with whatever you feel is your identity. even if that be a toastercorn.

something i have learned from the mistakes in my life:

"what happens when you place ultimate power in the hands of a mortal, and strike away their reason for obtaining the powers in the first place? you create a god without a purpose, an all powerful being capable of anything in the universe. and you leave them without a reason for living. man is not ready for the power of the gods, as without purpose he would destroy the very universe within which he resides. he will become a king of ruins, and a ruler of the void. for their is no purpose for a god to live, and no reason to die. and eventually, as all things do, he will bring destruction to all that he touches. his world will lie in ashes and fade away as he slowly falls to madness. as mans greatest enemy is himself, his fellow brethren will seek his power, his belongings, his loved ones, and desire these for himself. and in the end man will bring end to himself, by himself, because of himself. he is no greater than those who stand beside his side, and no less than those whom abandon him when times grow hard. mankind is equal in all light and all darkness and in death and birth and suffering and joy. all things that a man feels, faces, overcomes, suffers; all is equal in the eyes of the huddled masses. man is nothing to the cosmos, a mere speck in the raging storm that wisps through the desert winds. for he to call claim to his significance is to call importance to the life of the elusive electron. so small and insifnificant, and yet so important to the grander scheme of the cosmic flow. no, a man may never be allowed command the hands, eyes, or heart of the gods. but even he has value and to neglect this is to neglect all that is, has been, will be, has yet to come, and all things between."
