OT: What is true victory

[Colonel]

I wrote this.


Throughout human existence and indeed all life's existence, there has been an attempt to be the best, to be the victor, but what is true victory. A Roman General two thousand years ago thought conquering the far off wildness was true victory, but a Roman General would never have thought he could conquer what we today know of as the world; it was simplely unattainable to him. Today the US looks out and sees itself as the Victor of this new age, but are we, have we conquered everything, is there a bigger conquest. What about space could there be a bigger unattainable conquest for us out there? Can there ever be a true victory or are we to endlessly travel in search of new conquests, new discoveries, and new unattainable glories?
In this era of freedom, have we conquered all there is or is this just another step to the unattainable Victory. To seek true victory, one must attempt to understand all, to know all; to seek all there is in existence, to be omnipotent. But to be omnipotent one must be never ending, never beginning, infinity and nothing all at once. Victory is only achieved through the impossible.
What do we know as existence, what of omnipotence, what of life, do we know anything or are we just pawns in a much grander scale of existence. Do we even see what is existence, do we exist, or are we just the dreams of another, the unorganized thoughts of a being beyond are understanding and indeed our perception. Being the thoughts of another in slumber, should we search for the answers or should impatiently wait for this infinite slumber to end.
Should victory be achieved at all costs, should we recklessly aim for the unattainable goal? Reaching for the stars barely grasping at a glimpse of our existence, understanding very little of an infinite understanding. Man shall wander the universe grasping for every bit of understanding until the end of time. There souls shall wander the next plain of existence seeking any understanding to there ultimate victory.
