It simply exists to fulfill its appetite and that many human beings simply exist to fulfill their appetite.

And they choose that over worship or reason or anything that is greater.

They literally take their selves as gods in that sense, and their selves have no limitation on appetite.

So they just keep filling that appetite and filling that appetite and filling that appetite.

Whereas a human being can also go to the extent of choosing something greater and disciplining their desires, disciplining their selves because they're seeking a greater reward.

You know, we know many people that achieve great things.

in the worldly sense, because they choose to study over sleep, for example.

They choose to exert themselves towards their careers, towards their education, because they believe that ultimately the outcome of those pursuits are more rewarding than the immediate fulfillment of their desires.

So as believers, we choose that love of God, and we choose that outcome that we seek, and we discipline ourselves to where we can even ascend past the angels in rank.

Now, of course, I said we can go as low as an animal or even as low as a devil.

And we have tyrants past and present and future as well.

that can become satanic in their nature, because they allow their desires to take such control over them that they not only worship them, but that every other existing being around them simply becomes a piece of their own puzzle and pursuit of their own lordship and their own satisfaction, and they will kill, they will discard.

Not because, and I always say this, it's not that tyrants

necessarily like killing people.

It's that people's lives pose somewhat of an indifference to them.

They're indifferent to people's existence.

And so you become either an object for or against me.

And so they're willing to discard.

Children discard people, discard the rights of others, because they ultimately have chosen that the greatest pursuit of themselves is the maximum position of power and a place to where they can fulfill what they want to of themselves without any limits.

And everyone else becomes either a threat or an opportunity in that regard.
