Goal-Disoriented
The most horrific acts in history have been the realized goals of evil people. So much heartache and pain have been the bi-product of achieving goals. I would never allow my child to play a game that promotes goal setting. We see from the past that this can result in terrible consequences. When I hear a child say they want to accomplish something, I am quick to destroy their hopes and dreams. If you are the parent of one of these children, no "thank you" is necessary.

I don't think I understand your point. If you're saying that all goal-setting is evil, you're wrong. It's not hard to see that every good thing we have is also the result of someone having a goal, or wanting 'to accomplish something.' And if you're just trolling, that's cool. It's made me think about my own goals.
ReplyDeleteI feel dumb because I don't know what "trolling" means, but it is meant to be sarcastic. I am trying to touch on the point discussed in class about people who think the internet/facebook is evil. There is no doubt that it was a goal of Hitler to commit genocide. This is a reflection of Hitler, not a reflection of goal setting. I was nervous, trying to pull of sarcasm in such a small post. Thanks for the feedback.
ReplyDeleteIs this post a joke? Life without a goal would be useless. I think no matter who you are you have goals, they just may be more subconscious that you think. Graduating could be considered a goal. Getting a job could be a goal . There is the exact opposite, that every good thing done or won was at one point a goal of someone, is just as equally true.
