Summary

This quote suggests that the vulnerability of our physical bodies, specifically referring to the abdomen, prevents humans from viewing themselves as gods. The abdomen houses vital organs and is a symbol of our mortality, reminding us that we are susceptible to pain, illness, and death. Unlike gods who are often portrayed as immortal and invincible, our bodily limitations serve as a constant reminder of our humanity and keep us grounded in our understanding of our own mortality.
