I think...this may be an issue of metaphors versus literal speech.
[Only just now she's bringing this up??]
Being a human is seen as the weakest and most undesirable thing in my world, by...a lot of people. The gods that supposedly ruled over us were totally indifferent to us as individuals, and so let bad things start happening all over. People started growing afraid and felt like they needed to become like gods in order to have strength, not necessarily courage. So...they would...kill good people and eat their souls, their bodies change and they become what we call "Kishin eggs"--the precursor to becoming a demon god.
I think...even if humans aren't physically strong, they have something gods don't have. They have courage and they have persistence, it's just some people don't realize it and give up on humanity.
