In the presence of something magnificent, something supreme, what is the feeling a normal human would feel?
The answer to that question is probably fear. The fear of being trampled on. In front of a thing that you won't be able to defeat no matter what, the fear would overwhelm a normal person.
Then, how does one become a unique existence? How can you become different than any other person you will encounter? How can you prove you are better and that you are a person who stands on the ground above?
The answer is pretty simple. It is to kill your own emotions that always chain you to achieve greater lengths.
Fighting with the urge to escape in front of a being that is impossible to beat—fighting with the urge to get uncomfortable, fighting with the urge to slack off and laze around. To sum up, fighting with the things that will chain you.
