(AMPC) 4 And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

Yea, I love the beautiful explanation on the video. I think nemesis is something we should avoid, by simply doing the right thing in every area of our lives. I don't think we have to experience the ugly to learn the beautiful. We can learn from the nemesis of others and distance ourselves from indulging in habits that leads to them, like drinking, prostitution, stealing, killing, etc.
That's well said, @greatness96
