Quote by Plato

The gods' service is tolerable, man's intolerable.


The gods' service is tolerable, man's intolerable.

Summary

This quote implies that although serving the gods may present challenges, it is still manageable and acceptable, while being subject to the whims and demands of other human beings is unbearable. It suggests that man-made systems and hierarchies often lead to injustice, suffering, and cruelty, making them more difficult to endure than any difficulties encountered in devotion to higher powers.
