    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.
