Storyline:

Ubermensch, as believed by Nietzsche, is an Earthly god who surpasses traditional concepts of morality and sets his own views of values.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a 19th-century German Philosopher who gave the concept of transcendental values challenged the societal norms of the times and religion. Nietzsche, in his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, gives a detailed account of Ubermensch.

It is more like the DC Comics superhero character "Super Man," who is an alien from a planet other than ours and comes to fight against injustice with his superpowers. Although Superman and Nietzsche's Ubermensch possess the same characteristics, both are distinctively different from each other. Superman is an iconic superhero character, while the latter is more of a philosophical character presented by Nietzsche. Just like Superman is an alien, an individual who rejects societal norms and worldly accepted religious beliefs becomes alienated from other beings.

The central idea of Ubermensch is the "death of God" and the birth of human god. The late 19th century was the period of scientific development and theories of evolution proposed by Darwin and Lamarck. This was the same era in which humans started questioning the existence of god when Nietzsche gave the concept of Übermensch. Any individual who believes in personal growth and self-actualization can be referred to as Übermensch.

Nietzsche portrayed the concept of his ideal superhuman not only in Thus Spoke Zarathustra but also in his other works, e.g., The Gay Science and Beyond Good and Evil. Other philosophers and writers such as Heinrich Muller and Goethe also articulated the idea of self-empowered individuals in their works.

Story text: Does everyone in this world suffer? Yes, definitely. Does everyone face the same struggles in life? Not really, surely not. Even though humans are tested differently in this world, they can heal each other, being each other's strength through thick and thin. This is how many recuperate. This is what Daisy believed strongly. Her name, a symbolical flower of healing also known as "Chamomile" is what might have created a huge impact on Daisy perhaps. She dressed in white frocks with puffy selves, her favorite without a doubt. Her existence was no different than any other being except for an extra amount of optimism for sure. Daisy was unique in other aspects for unlike others she was born in the world of eternal Autumn. Where ashes fell from the sky like confett...

Short Story - Dream Gurl

Nearly four years had drifted by since our graduation, and in that time, our paths had never crossed. One day, a mysterious call broke the silence, and its number was unknown to me. She was a girl with a voice that was familiar to me. Without wasting a moment, she said, “Hello, Akbar, you didn’t change your phone number yet. Thank God.” I cleared my throat and asked, “Do I know you?”. Her laughter intensified while she said, “I don’t know if you still remember me, but I still commemorate you. Leave all this aside, I am getting married next week.” She took a pause, saying this, and I didn’t say anything either. Her voice lowered when she came up with the invitation of her wedding. She spoke, her voice was soft and humble, like a gentle whisper in the wind, “It would bring me profound joy if you attend my wedding. Without you, my wedding would not be less than a funeral….” She cut off the line with a deep sigh which was clearly audible. I called back instantly as she hung up the phone....
