Prologue.

Strength.

Such a polarizing term.

Would one be categorized as strong if they can destroy the world with a mere flick of the wrist? Or would they be strong if they can carry everyone's problems and burdens on their back?

The definition of strength has been debated countless of times by philosophers and scientists alike. They all bring convincing arguments, but in the end, they all fail to grasp the true meaning of strength.

They fail to understand that strength has no meaning because strength is a lie. The people of Earth posses no strength. They are all weak, self-serving, and stupid. But they are also powerful, caring, and knowledgeable. They are a walking contradiction. So who is to say is strong or not? The caring, the resilient, the powerful, the smart? Which one of these is the strongest?

None. They all fail to understand the responsibility place on them as human begins. They all fail to help the world. Innovations, preachers, cures, they all help and educate people at first glance. But at times, in mere hours, cures are only able to those who can afford them. Followers start wars over who prophet was right or wrong. Innovations only help fan the flames of war, increase the divide of poor and rich, increase tensions between cultures. Indirectly, they all help sow the seeds of destruction and do the opposite of what they mean to do.

Because they are not strong, they are weak. In the end, they all fail. And there is no strength to ever be found in failure. Feeble and blabbering philosophers try to give purpose to an word which is devoid of meaning.

Some may ask why my opinion holds more merit over countless of scribes, scientists, scholars, etc. And that has a fairly simple answer.

As the only immortal person to ever walk on this mistake they call Earth, I think it is only right that the"strongest ever" title belongs to me. And as the self-proclaimed "strongest", I can say with a straight face...

...that I'm the weakest person to ever walked this planet.

For even with my heavenly power, I can only amount to an hellish destruction.
