What is/are your God(s)?

[doomed]

They were their own gods in what kind of way? When I say I'm my own god, I'm saying that I'm the thing(or should I say, person) that I most worry about, but I'm smart enough to know what might end up by giving me bad outcomes.

They were the person they most cared about to the exclusion of everything else (i.e. what was best for them was by default best for all). Sounds like you're not that person.

I guess so. I wouldn't do anything that led me to prison. Caring about myself would be enough for me not to do so as well as being sociable with other people and obeying the rules. It's strange that the people you know ended up in prison. They probably don't apply the same meaning I do to the "I'm my own god" phrase.
