People in ancient Egypt also thought people before them were so moronic for not knowing which gods to leave offers to, so their priests could predict when the Nile was going to overflow, or having an actual living God as their ruler, capable of turning off the Sun on a whim.
But what you should be proud of, is being able to read this, unlike most people in ancient Egypt, who had to pay a scribe to write or read for them.
The Egyptian gods created the universe in their culture. They would not make fun of their ancestors for worshipping the wrong gods. That would be an absurd notion to them.
Struting about because youre so much better than your ancestors is not an innate property of being human, regardless of how much you like doing it.
Is that why they had slaves, because they considered everyone equal? Or did Ra's worshippers stage bloodshed after bloodshed because they thought their ancestors were not wrong for worshipping other gods like Horus, Amon, Aten, and some more, and vice versa?
Akhenaten had such disdain for everyone, gods included, that he proclaimed himself to be God Supreme, curiously one his ancestors used to consider just an aspect of Ra.
Right, not innate at all. Good to know you don't consider yourself better than a bunch of egomaniacal power hungry religious zealots 🙄
Deep breathes can be used to stay calm. Theres value in humbling yourself. Nobody really deserves as much respect as they think.
The Meditations is a really good book to avoid holding yourself too highly.
LoL. Guess you're true to your nick, no high is too high? 😆
Humbling oneself is a nice exercise, being a doormat and seeing all past through rosy glasses is a life endangering attitude.
