Torture, loss, betrayal, pain, suffering, old age, humiliation, incurable ailments—all of this, with only one outcome.

which will only make him fall into bottomless inferiority.

What really made him die was not that the world was empty, but that he himself was not God.
He can't stand this.
That's why he says, "Do I see myself in God? I see it. And what I see makes me sick."
So he had to give up.
Because giving up has always been the easiest thing in the world.
So the renunciation is still insincere, because it is an escape from self-denial no
more noble than the escape from concocting a god to survive.
He thought that he could be sincere enough to deny everything

So in the end, he as a god made a mess of his own world and
there was nothing left
and he destroyed it with his own hands.

You will never try to beat the old man. You can only go that way, where everyone goes.
Yes, God is so stubborn, if you don't believe it, just keep wrestling with God.
