Logically, I feel like the answer is that only the laws of physics transcend everything, but I like to believe in other things like peace, joy, yada yada transcend everything. Perhaps they at least transcend a human life. So if we cultivate these things in ourselves and share them with others, does that inch everything a little bit closer to something like world peace? Or is that just another healing fantasy?

If we’re being strict and logical then nothing transcends everything.
To transcend everything would mean standing outside all reality, all laws, all existence…and if something exists, it’s already part of that reality.
I agree that the closest practical answer is the laws of physics, because everything we know operates within them. But even they don’t transcend existence, they are part of the existence that we understand.
If we shift the question a little, like “What feels like it transcends a human life?”, then things like love, peace, joy and yada yada influence qualify. They don’t break physics, but they outlast individuals.
So I think, nothing transcends everything, but many things outlast us.
Love, laziness, pain, and really really bad odor.
We should invest our money together for a company producing caffeinated, analgesic, deodorants.

Freedom transcends in life. The natural longing of the human soul is for freedom. Fredom of religion and freedom to have your beliefs. Freedom to live your life without tyranny of an oppressive government. This week I watch as the people of Iran dance in the streets for the love of freedom. I see no hajibs, no chadors on the women that have lived with such oppression as to be considered non-human and a thing to be owned. Women could be punished for allowing their shoe heels to make noise when they walk, or for letting a few wisps of hair to show from under their hajib. Women were not allowed education or an opinion. The punishments ranged from a bad beating, to being buried up to their ribs and stoned to death, or crushed under rocks, or set on fire in the streets, or hanged in public. All that changed with the death of Ayatollah Ali Khomeini and 49 who could have suceeded him. For now, the people dance joyfully with freedom.
There were talks before this bombing started. The Ayatollah braged of having 11 nuclear weapons and more being made. He insisted that Iran had a right to make nuclear weapons to use against the non-muslim countries, like Israel and the United States of America. They said it was their country and they can do as they like. The threat of attacks against Israel became so close that Israel had to fight to defend their country, and the United States joined in to defend against the war that Iran was planning. They bombed and killed the heads of the Iranian empire. However, there is a succession of others that can take the place of the Ayatollah. There are Arafi, Ayatollah Khomeini’s son Mojtaha Khomeini, Ali Larijani, Ghalibsf, Alireza Arafi, Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri in line to be the Supreme Leader. These men would be as harsh and tyrannicle as Ayatollah Khomeini and put the people back to lives of oppression and punishments.
Then there is the hope of the government being led by a new regime of the return of the Pahlavi family with Riza Pahlavi bringing freedom to the people and a return to Western ways of life, agreeable with the United States and Israel. Under the leadership of the Pahlavis the people will live in freedom. The people of Iran are thanking President Trump for getting rid of the Ayatollah’s regime — for now. But what if the Ayatollahs replace with a new oppression and return to making nuclear bombs??? Then Israel and the United States will do it all again. They cannot have nuclear bombs to attak us with.
Love. Love transcends everything. A love between a mother and child will always be strong enough
