Satan was, we are told, an angel, and he arrived at his perfect solution without effort I guess.
People who want to be angels are like people who want to be trees.
Barking mad.
Satan reached his perfection, that is completion, in the instance of his choice, which the same that he desired men to make, which is a rejection of what he ought to have been , out of jealousy of man.
People should want to be like Christ, who is above the angels.
