Defying the Gods simply means discontentment.
A God is a Supreme Being. There are no other that is far greater than the omnipotence of a God. Aiming to surpass God is humanely unreachable, no creature exceeds its creator. Yet, this arbitrary fact can serve as the fuel to strive harder and harder, farther and farther, unleashing one's potential up to its fullest capacity or better yet extend it.
The boundaries of Aspiration is as far as what can be grasped or what can be known, hence, it is completely unnecessary to put a lesser limit on it. Thus, a great sense of fulfillment can be felt because it is realized in self that all the best was given out without holding back.
However, one must consider also the way of acquiring own's ambition. It is not all about the goal alone. It is also important that while getting into the destination, the journey itself is appreciated. So wherever the adventure stops, fate is happily accepted, rewarded with self-fulfillment.

Gray Man
"A Gray man is one who experienced the depth of loneliness and the height of happiness." -- This is a statement I heard from my professor who was also a practicing lawyer which bestowed him the everlasting impression of his legendary literary professor and a flat 1.0 in his report card for two semesters. He answered it not with rationalization but by using resourcefulness as he have heard it while walking on the corridor from the babbling students who belong to his professor's prior class.
Two colossal figures, the storyteller and his professor who was included in the story motivates me to wonder about the gray man. Why is it called as it is? Why is it named like that? Where is its derivation? The answer is... color primarily, but among the shades and hues why is it the one used as metaphor. Having that very powerful description, Why is it represented by an unattractive chrome?
And here's the product of my reflection.. (which maybe called also as realization)
Gray is a color. As dull as it looks but it is the product of two chroma, the Black and the White. These two chroma are the extremes of all colors, white being the purest and black as the darkest.
So, it would take one to experience the extremes of life to become a Gray man.
Might be the reason why this color is not favored frequently because being a gray man is truly extraordinary and it would took a deep sense of understanding to appreciate this color.
