A Week in Reflection #14 - Asim Siddiq


Part 3:

Bouncing from left to right, the cockpit of the space cruiser shakes voraciously as R-Sim makes his descent onto the planet First-Year Seminar. Located parallel to the moon of Bindor Library, the planet is known throughout the galaxy for its vast treasures and cerebrally equipped scholars. Upon landing, R-Sim makes his way to the glass castle. The structure is unlike anything R-Sim has seen before. The large clear glass panels reflect light in every direction. Approached by a woman who calls herself “The Wizard,” R-Sim hesitantly asks about the location of the rumored treasure map. Inviting him into her quarters, The Wizard tells a story about how The Key of Doncic has been purposely hidden by the great powers in the course realm. The great powers feared that if the Key fell into the wrong hands, it would bring about destruction and chaos throughout the galaxy. However, as the W-galaxy faces a treacherous threat, only the Key can restore balance. Acknowledging this, The Wizard leads R-Sim to a small room where the treasure map is hidden. Spending 3 months discussing, deciphering, and reading, R-Sim discovers that the map indeed points toward the final known location of the Key. Along with this material discovery, R-Sim discovers something about himself. Often swallowed by the fast pace of life, R-Sim finds comfort in realizing that life is much more than the standardized norms we conform too. Life is unique. Life is something that may seem hard and complicated at times, but at its core is simple and only fruitful. Exhausted by the arduous journey, R-Sim sets his coordinates for the final planet that holds the Key of Doncic – Cosmo Politics.

Class this week was very enjoyable. I took more notes in The Conquest of America than I have in any other book. Digressing for a second, there is a quote that is stuck in my brain. Located on pages 248 and 249, the quote reads, “We no longer believe in wild men in the forests, but we have discovered beasts in man.” That is deep bro. That quote is directly tied to the various revelations about the nature of man the book makes. Although difficult to comprehend sometimes, this book has expanded my horizons considerably. I look forward to trying to save Kiribati next week!
