Abraham Yeung - Blog Q4 Week 13 - Eternity.



Eternity is the oldest dream.

Immortality. War. Children. Legacy. To become eternal is to transcend the limits of our humanity, our mortality. It brings us closer to perfection, to divinity, to a life better than the one we currently suffer through.

Maybe my children can transcend my humanity. If I can keep this warm, beautiful little ball of flesh alive for a decade, it will grow up to be big, strong and handsome. It cries out for me, for its parent. I get this warm fuzzy feeling. Perhaps this is what it is like to love. I’ve decided. I’ll care for it. When it get sick and bedridden, I will care for it. When it screams in pain from injury, I will stay by its side. Season by season, year by year, I will hug it, kiss it, give it my love. It may hate me, it may leave me one day, and yet this offspring of mine will be my legacy. To you, I leave you my everything. I only ask for you to remember me. Maybe then I can become eternal.

There are far more entertaining things than what these weak-willed beggars call love. How can they possibly know what it means to hold sway over a million, a billion people? One word from me, and a billion of these plebians starve. Another, and they gladly die, disembowling and scalping each other without ever needing another command. Power is beauty. It is the distinction between the lessers and us.

It feels empty. We hold all this power, and yet, something doesn’t feel right.

It doesn’t matter.

As long as I can have more power, more obedience, that void in my heart will be filled. Maybe it’ll be fixed if I can keep holding onto power forever. Yes, forever. I should be immortal. Then I can finally, truly be different from these lessers. Death is equal to all, but if I can defeat Death, then I will be closer to God.

Immortality is impossible.

Still, we must strive to transcend our short lives. How should we do it? We remember the greatest of humanity though history. Then we too must be remembered in history. Those that are recorded in history remain eternal.

But how can we remain eternal in history? A five-hundred foot stone monument to the sky? Become the first to do something? Kill a tenth of the planet? Take over the planet? Be the richest ever? Eternity is granted to a select few, and so we must be special.

But someone has already done it. Then, limits exist to be broken. Who dares limit us? We are not in the days of crawling through jungles and savannahs in fear of tigers and lions. Nor are we in the ancient world of evil kings and emperors, where only a select few rule. Then how can we truly make our mark into history? There is nothing else to crush underfoot.

Oh, we forgot.

Everyone is equal now. Then we can step on top of each other.

After all, if we reach the pinnacle, we have a chance of becoming eternal.

I Just A Bebe - BLOG 1 WEEK 1 - 1/14/26 - Ranvir Thapar

Image
  “Age is just a number,” a phrase repeated constantly to me throughout my early childhood as a way to motivate young Ranvir Thapar of Fremont, California to try new things without the worry of failing because of his young age at the time. However, what was supposed to be my evolution and growth over the years as I grew in age ended up in a pattern of regression. Of course I still grew physically and yeah I guess mentally I have grown, but a part of me yearns to be young again.  “But why Ranvir?” you ask. This is a good question and while there are multiple reasons such as the lack of responsibility, the carefree lives the youth lead, or the ignorance they constantly feign, right now as of this moment it's because people call me old.  I am 17 years of age, just a measly 17 short years on this planet and my friends have the audacity to call me old, ancient, and aged!?! But no! I refuse to get ragebaited I will NOT be ragebaited anymore so my response to them “I just a bebe...

Charlize | Week 9 | Captain of My Heart

Irresistible. Smooth. Charismatic(?). My dearest compatriot, the Pilot G2 0.7mm Premium Gel Roller, is truly the pinnacle of human creation.  BIC pen users could never fathom the feeling of a wonderful, ergonomic grip created for writing the juiciest, darkest lines. The tip glides across the surface of any blank sheet with immaculate ink flow. No matter what the pen connoisseurs say, the Pilot G2 will always be my go-to pen, suffering with me through every single essay and assignment. But sometimes my Pilot loses control, its path deviating from the one originally planned.  As the ink in the cartridge dwindles to a point where it's hidden by the pen grip, the once smooth journey from one destination to another is now full of turbulence. A straight line is broken up into choppy lines barely connecting with each other. Even when it’s full of fuel, the Pilot G2 has the tendency to become “blobby,” with a blot of ink appearing upon contact with the paper. Maybe it’s something abo...

Jiya Kohar Week 9: Top 10 (#1) Stupid People OAT

Image
My POAS person is Jeffrey Epstein! I know, I know, what an awesome man. While doing some research and pondering, I found myself laughing at him more than I thought I would. For a (supposedly) really smart man, Epstein was objectively very stupid. He made highly avoidable mistakes and completely overestimated how far his power and reputation would be able to protect him. For one, you would think that after being convicted AND registered as a sex offender, one would stop or at least change up their pattern a bit. But noooo, he reoffended after his conviction (this alone is enough) but also didn’t make any actual countermeasures. If you’re already caught once, I would assume the smart thing to do would at least try to hide your actions. He also continuously repeated himself. Over and over, the same planes, pilots, routes, properties, etc, etc. And (!), he also thoroughly documented his outlandish pedophilia and involved way too many people. I could literally go on and on about his mistak...
