5. Does he think that no one will ever have power over him? [4]
[4] Among the hardships in which man spends his life, most are those brought about by his own hands, due to the fulfillment of the desires of his own self, most of which are of a wrong and unlawful nature, for which he risks everything to achieve. He also commits various injustices against others and remains heedless and unconcerned that there is a Being who is watching him and can hold him accountable.
