Euthyphro’s dilemma asks, “is it right because God wills it, or God wills it because it is right?” The first branch believes in an external locus of control, that success and failure result from factors beyond our control. The second branch believes that the self and its actions control the outcome of events in their life. If both statements are true, it becomes a vicious cycle where the snake is eating its own tail. A feedback loop based on inferiority.
