I AM THE BEST
“I AM THE BEST”
I AM THE BEST.
I trained to be the best.
I paid my dues and worked my way up, defeating all my opponents one by one.
I defeated the previous BEST.
I defeated the previous BEST OF THE BEST.
I defeated the previous BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST.
And it stopped there. No, seriously, that was all.
I AM THE BEST.
The coolest thing about being the BEST is how completely generic and without context my skills are. If I'm the BEST, then it doesn't matter what, specifically, I are the best at. I'm just "THE BEST." Not to mention my power level being OVER 9,000!!
There is a downside to being THE BEST. Once you're THE BEST, you no longer have any goals beyond maintaining this status. There is no longer anything more to strive against or conquer. You're done kicking ass. Now you just rule. And it turns out that this can be kind of lonely ... and boring.
In fact, it is almost indistinguishable from the condition I was in before I started. Wow, this sucks.
