A saint takes on a moral system so completely that he becomes the social system. Living within a moral framework as a saint does limit the personal ability to shape reality, hence transferring this ability in the form of power to the abstract social structure. But a life of a saint is not the real goal of any moral system. If everybody lived as saints, the power that was thus generated would not be anywhere near enough to keep an abstract structure in existence. This is why real saints are always in a very tiny minority or a false myth.
Saints are decoy models projected in front of people by the abstract power structure.
The real goal of any moral system is personal failure. This type of failure is different from the failure within evolution or creativity. It is the failure of a victim or a loser. A moral system is set up to be almost impossible, if not in fact impossible, for humans to live within. At the heart of the con of morality is to convince the people that they should do what they are not empowered to do.
