To me, the definition of SELF-AGRANDIZEMENT is seating your self at the throne of the universe. Did you cause yourself to exist? If so, then I will but bow down and worship at the feet of your magestic splendor. We have been given this life by no merits of our own, understanding that is humility, the opposite of self-aggrandizement or self-worship (humanism).
So many illogical inconsistencies is making my brain hurt.
