I'm sure we all know the story of the Yong Rich Man who asked Jesus how to inherit Eternal Life only to be told to sell his everything and come follow Jesus.

I couldn't help but contemplate the previous part where Jesus told the man to follow the commandments then the young man proudly proclaimed he did exactly that since he was a kid...

Now I couldn't help but feel that the man kinda overplayed himself, or maybe thinking he could get Eternal Life with his own strength and moral conviction. We all know none could get to the Lord by themselves and only through Jesus can we be saved. I wondered about the part where Jesus told the man to sell everything and give to the poor. That was just super impossible, for me, at least. I wonder if Jesus was indirectly telling that man that he couldn't be perfect by his own power and once he realized that, he should come to Jesus for salvation...

Do any of you think there is more meaning to that?

I had an intrusive thought...

One day, aliens arrived on Earth and asked to buy trillions of cheeseburgers... The world was thrown into chaos by the sudden alien's visit and their strange requests. The fast food corporations, however, were overcome by greed and quickly made deals with the aliens for advanced technology and protection from their own governments.

Trading trillions of cheeseburgers for greatly advanced technologies, the corporate coalition launched a world-dominating campaign against the Earth and took over, turning the entire planet into a gigantic food processing factory for the aliens.

The Corporate Coalition soon fractured into many factions. The two big factions are the McEmpire and the Burger Imperium. The Mc Empire deployed a great army of McTroopers while the Burger Imperium deployed their elite super soldier, Whopper Marines.

In the shadow of their great conflict, the Wendy's Resistance fought against everyone to free the people from corporate oppression, assisted the Kolonel Fighting Coalition, another resistance groupd who sell fried chickens to another set of aliens but things are difficult as both the McEmpire and the Burger Imperium kept blowing up their hidden chicken farms.
