| BkVI:4.III.11 | Those who seek to be like God are left without cause and therefore without a source of life, because in order to be like something you must be an imitator and not an authentic being. To be like someone is to imitate them since they are living from a comparison. If you imitate anyone, you don't have a cause. Imitation has no intrinsic roots. It has simply an external source which it seeks to copy. |
