Chapter Six - Dreams & Disenchantment
I dont like to call them dreams because that just means that it's all in your head and that you will not accomplish them, I like to call them goals. One of my largest goals is to become immortal so that I could live to see everything and experience everything I can. With the end goal of immortality I can accomplish that in a few ways first and the most simple is to be cryogenically frozen when I die so that I could come back to life in the future. The second way is to do something called Mind Uploading which is when you would upload your mind into a computer so that you could live in a machine. So with this in mind I have a bunch of smaller goals like becoming rich so that I could then start my own research company so that I can then research mind uploading or cryogenics. Some of the things I would like to have is the experience of skydiving because you get the rush of being near death and the freedom of flight all at once. I would also like to learn how to fly a plain so I can have the freedom to go where I wont. The only goalthat came true is the dream of going to college.
One time I got my hopes up because I got my first 80% in cooking class and I loved being intelligent so I wanted to get another eighty. When next semester comes by I ended the semester with three marks above eighty percent whereas last year I was getting sixties. But on the other hand there was this one time that I got my hopes up when a doctor said that I might have been misdiagnosed with colitis which is a digestive disease. I was so happy when he told me that, that I started to cry. A week after I left the hospital I started to redevelop my symptoms and I knew then that this disease is never going to leave me for the rest of my life.I feel like in my life I have been let down a lot by my goals but that doesn't stop me from coming up with these big goals and seeking out new ways to accomplish them.
The best way that I can guarantee accomplishing my goals is to become rich because with money you can do almost anything. With money I can open up a research lap, or pay for flight lessons, or pay for schooling. I also can't let anyone gain control over my future so I can't go to jail do drugs because addiction runs in my family, I also have to only have positive friends so they don't drag me down and a supportive wife that will be by my side no matter what I decide to do. I am going to control my destiny by not owing the bank money, and by not letting other people control my future. The only way to be in control of your destiny is if you have full control.
