@Chuck: Doesn't everyone have the have the potential to become great?
I hoped that I had misjudged her character and gave her the benefit of the doubt, but unfortunately I was right, and she's indeed very silly. Even worse so than I originally expected.
As for the badge of the IB.. I'm just confused that a person who supposedly got thoroughly educated, could make such a life-altering decision based on absolutely nothing.
If IB distinguishes me or not, I do not much care about it. All I know is that I finished high school, which was merely a pit stop on the road to a better education.
Clever might have been a poor choice of word on my part. I do agree that many Christians are clever in the shrewd sense of the word, when I meant clever as in sensible. And I guess that a person that you can force-feed three years worth of knowledge won't even gag when the religious bs follows.
@padraic: Yup, early twenties. My guess is that she had some mental hole to fill, after being obese and suddenly turned really thin. People who eat their emotions are seldom far off to become addicted or obsessed with something else when food isn't an option anymore.
@FaithNoMore: Yes, but it is then so wrong for me to mourn when knowledge is lost and humans become stuffed with their self-importance? To be so unsure as to turn to a deity, just because your life might not have meaning otherwise, is despicable to me.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
