Final

this isn't the essay itself just a sum of what I've got so far.

Ok humans are the only beings (including gods, angels, demons, etc.) that are capable of right action and sacred duty. why?

because humans have a past, present, future and freewill. the last part is the most important. freewill is what makes humans special. it means they can be eviler (i don't care if it's not a word) than the worst demon and gooder (again don't care) than any angel. it means they can be greater than any god.

angels and demons don't consider past present future and they have no freewill (it's a humans only thing). they obey god. that's it. even in The Fall demons don't leave god's will or grace really because god plans everything... except when it comes to humans (again freewill).

gods don't have anything to do with wrong or right or any of that other human stuff. they're gods, they can do whatever the hell they want. they're Divine (which also means to discover or perceive - funny that) and 'above' mortal things. but god's can't transcend. only humans can do that.

sacred has the same root as sacrifice right? holy yeah? well (and I'm using my right to interpret) then sacred duty isn't just holy, it's sacrificial. divinities don't sacrifice themselves they leave that up to mortals. when a mortal performs his/her sacred duty they sacrifice a part of themselves or themselves as a whole and transcend beyond the divine (at least it seems that way to me, again interpretation).

as for right action, like i said, these other beings don't deal in right or wrong (freewill thing) they deal in GOD's will. so right action is heavy interwoven with sacred duty because you can't really have sacred duty without right action, though I'm not sure about visa versa.

and.... yeah, that's all I've got so far. but it's a lot longer and i have quotes in the essay.

the sad part is most of this is from Good Omens and the BG... at least i think so....

huh...
