I don't know anything about the story of the Buddha to be honest, but I agree with the premise. Most, if given powers so to speak, would use them for personal gain.

But honestly, maybe humanity is better than I think.

He faked having these abilities so that his disciples would hang on to him.
Lick his boots like dogs.

I'd want to fly or be able to teleport. Commuting is hella annoying.

I was stating that humanity is not better than you think it is.
