katie: redux

She's back with a whole slew of ignorance for your reading enjoyment. This comment was posted on a post that was brought to you courtesy of Brian Hillman and his quest for intellectual glory. Apparently she could not comprehend that I did not write that, but merely posted it to explain my disgust. So here is what she said and I quote directly:

"I, as you could have figured, do not agree with you on that. You may have very high goals for yourself...who doesnt? But saying that there is just nothing to life except "accomplishing" those goals is just (you might not like this) dumb!! I mean happiness is something that someone needs in life. It is not an illusion. Their lives are not pointless if they are happy. I know alot of people who wouldn't be too happy if I were just to kill myself. Everyone's life matters. Why would we be on this earth if it didnt? I know, I know...Im not going to get into that today. But there is more to life than becomming famous because you are smart. Or going to harvard or yale. I guess it's all a matter of how you look at it. So...what are you going to do after you achieve these goals? Find a girl...start a family...or is that all pointless, too? I mean look at the people you are talking about. Lets take President Bush for example. He wouldnt be here if it werent for his parents. Well, his dad was a president, too. What about his grandparents. They probably didnt do anything but give birth to someone that they didnt think at all (probably) would become president. Probably ordinary people who just had fun, enjoyment, and happiness. So that was another point. Where would we all be if it wasnt for our parents who were more than likely mediocre.
And people cant all be brilliant...then the world would be borring dont you think?

What are you going to do after you graduate college? Are you just going to sit there being that kid thats just brilliant? Have people awe at you for your greatness? And if you keep thinking this way, are you ever going to get married? Or are you just going to think that none of them are good enough for you? That they are too mediocre to even compare to your greatness. And if you do get married, and have these same views, how are you going to keep that marriage going? Without fun, enjoyment, happiness, and things like that then how will you keep your wife? How is she going to stay by your side if you dont make her happy?

I really dont get you...
in christ,
Katie"

To which I of course replied with this:

"Guess what Katie, I completely agree with you about that post. Those are the exact things that I told the author of that essay, but thanks for still finding a way to screw up. I realize that there is more to life than getting into a prestigious college and I realize that personal fulfillment is necessary to live a happy life. Of course I realize this, but I sadly did not write that little essay. My name is not Brian Hillman, I do not have a blog called brosiusblog.blospot.com, and I do not have an unhealthy obsession with becoming a famous intellectual. Do they teach reading comprehension at your school? If they do, its probably best if you look into taking something like that. Maybe next time you will not completely disregard the entire first paragraph of a post. I thought from all that Bible reading you would be able to at least comprehend what you are reading, but maybe that's your problem. I will not get into that with you again, but you must know my stance on the Bible by now. So basically, if you ever feel like posting a comment on something I have written again, make sure your not going to sound like a complete idiot in the process.

Yours in Self-Reliance,
Justin"

I cannot wait for our next exchange Katie, I have been missing you.
