A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Self-made men often worship their creator.
The self is just not a worthy enough vehicle to worship.
God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs.
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization.
One creates oneself.
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
Could the one whom Christians worship be merely a mythological creation, or is he real? These questions have exercised many great minds and have been the dominant issue in New Testament studies during this century.
The True Self is not our creation, but God's. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence.
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others.
