What does this quote means helpp????

Question

i worshiped to dead men for their strength forgetting i was stong

Answer 1

This means someone was so focused on an idol or the great deeds of men who have already died, that they forgot that they could do something just as great or even greater. They are relying on the strength of great men of the past, forgetting that they already have strength of their own.

Answer 2

To me it means that we want to be like men of the past which we admire instead of looking at our own strength.
