Mans attempt to put himself in the place of god?

God can be found in man, once man finds god in him, being man, chooses to seek advantage from it.

It might not begin as such, it could be just helping the other man, but soon the man who has found god in himself accumulates power unwittingly and over time the power corrupts.

God is otherwise neutral, a man putting himself in the same place might be able to serve more accurately the needs of his fellows, whoever and however they may be.

Mankind has been given the privilege of choice, to live god-like or as the devil and everything in between. Some other creatures have no choice over their existence or how they are to live. This innate choice of mankind prevents a singular form of existence unless all else is given up, but if all else is given up one cannot continue living - If there is no karma left, then there will be no more life here.
