Hating evil and converting Fail into Win

2 friends commented on my Facebook status a day ago that read “in the Valley, remembering why i hate Californians”. Brian McCarthy, whom I went to middle school and first year of high school with in New York who invited me back east to escape the wicked dicks of the west, and Caitlin… a Californian who offered this retarded anecdote:

caitebeforedelete

that’s a really shallow californian-type doctrine to live by, which is why no major religion or philosophy ever adopted it. you should ALWAYS hold the wicked in contempt. you cant truly love goodness if you dont hate evil and since there is no contradiction in that, it doesnt even make sense for you to make the “just as bad” claim.
‘amoral’ and ‘logically groundless’ are two things i DONT want in my “words to live by”, thanks.
you shouldnt either.

Caitlins 2 follow up comments are, needless to point out, retarded – but then she saved it in a way I think we all can learn from. First she deleted all her comments and when I said that was lame she offered this explanation:

haha, no i deleted my comments, because im admitting my pettiness, and correcting my flaws. I dont need or want to attack you, at first i was ideally giving you a hard time, and trying to lighten you up by saying.. HEY not all cali’s are the same and like that.. and you’re just as bad… as a joke, but you spit back with a plethora of wham bam pows! so i had to say something, then realised.. i dont care.

Are you all taking notes?
Caitlin has discovered a formula for the chemical alteration of fail into win:

Fail – negative motive + apathy ÷ concession = WIN.

holy shit!
