Is It Egotistical to Believe That You Could Write Anything That Would Stand the Test of Time?

"It's dangerous to think at you could do that," he says. "You might want to have some sort of real substance d in order to even believe that you could write something like the book of mormon" He adds, 'If your goal is for your own legacy and to try to theoretically live as long as possible through a legacy, then yes, it's egotistical' But saying i'm going to make something I feel has a deep meaning that i believe in, that i would like to stand the test of time? That's not egotistical. That's a service. You are providing a service.
