We can neither speak of superior nor inferior divinity, but only of divinity, because no divinity ever wished to be superior or inferior as true divinity is a part of man as the Man is a part of divinity and consequently, neither man nor divinity are alien to each other, but a family, a whole. This is why divinity cannot beat, nor torture. Divinity is neither hidden nor infamous as the man divinity deems to be like this, but only the emancipation and the destruction of the negative side of the individual divinity of the man, with which he contributed to the social divinity that was going in the wrong direction eventually lead to hiding the evil in man, so necessary otherwise in order to define and reference Good, but only for balancing Good and Evil and not for the balance to be overthrown by one of its elements.
