Most people put the "Creator" above anything and everything. Humanity is placed on the "chain of being".  Humans are put under angels but above the beast. Poco Della Mirandola believes that angels, man, and beast are all the same. He tells us that we should not admire angels more than we do ourself. He thinks that man is the most fortunate of all creatures and as a result worthy of the highest admiration. Mirandola tells us that once some is born that spiritual being from the beginning become what they are to be for eternity. If "he" removes himself from his own center of unity and becomes alone in the dark than " he" will surpass every created thing. At the end he says that us humans should not be second to anything. I believe that he has very good point but is not all true. If people put the self into the highest power than I think the world would be chaotic. I believe that if we are at the top of the chain than they would not look to a higher power to seek help and bring bad things together. I believe that we should praise I higher power. Ithink if we thought of ourself at the top or the same as angels that no wars about religion would ever happen because no one would care about higher powers. Then people would start wars on what ethnicity would be better and more world wars would happen.
