Chapter 236: Self-Restraint, Not Suppression

"Human nature is a thing very difficult to define."

"I am not a wise man of great experience, nor do I possess the understanding of the elite; I am merely an ordinary person."

"My understanding of human nature is also very shallow, not nearly as profound."

Ren Amamiya considered himself no learned professor, incapable of speaking eloquently to so many minds superior to his own.

All he could offer was only a shallow understanding.

"Human nature, I believe, is a manifestation of desire."

"Those without desire or need have already lost what is called human nature; I do not believe such people truly exist in this world."

"Perhaps even the gods cannot achieve a state without desire or need."

"If so, then perhaps the gods would not require so-called faith, nor even power itself."

"But without power or faith, can the gods still be honored as gods?"

"Therefore, the gods actually possess human nature as well."
