Another Unknown Reader Responds ...

Another Unknown has submitted the following comment on the blog post titled: “O le Ala i le Tautua o le Pule.” 

UNKNOWN: 
“Kasi lava le va'ai i le Ulu kala ae ua lava e ka'u mai ai le valea o lea kusikusiga e ma'imau ai le kaimi e faikau ai. Stupid article. E ola age lava le kagaka Samoa kaukua e augoa ma se makai.se'ia o'o lava iga pale gisi i suafa makai ae kaukua uma lava i le soifuaga o le kagaka.” 

LETALU: 
Talofa Unknown. Malo le soifua i lau susuga/afioga. Sa ou tau filifili whether I should I dignify your comment by a response or just let it be. Ae oute manatu o lo’o e faamoemoeina fo’i sa’u tali. O lea, ia alo maia. Oute faamoemoe fo’i e te le solomuli pe e te ainiumea i lenei felafolafoa’iga. Ae ne’i te’i ua e faamaamulu, ia e lelei ona tau faamataali atu se manatu e tali fuaitau i si au tau ‘ene’ene ma si au faapōpō ia poo sau lagalaga ma’a fo’i. Fai mai fo'i e a Pekelo i le kagaka lagalaga ma'a? Ioe, o le lagalaga ma'a e 'ai ai oe e le povi. 🤣

 Muamua, ua e faia se tasi o faiga masani lea e faaupuina i le faa-Peretania o le “judging a book by its cover” e ala i lau upu “Kasi lava le va'ai i le Ulu kala ae ua lava e ka'u mai ai le valea o lea kusikusiga….” Generally speaking that’s an idiotic approach. It reveals a lot about you and your imbecility. In fact let me say that the article is not stupid; it’s you! A tu’u fo’i i se tasi o ‘upu masani a le atunu’u, “O le uta a le poto e fetalaa’i” ia ua atili ai fo’i ona iloa lou faavalevalea ona ua e taofiofimau lava i le ulutala (title) ae ‘e te le’i faitauina le uiga, a'ano ma le ‘autu atoa o le tusitusiga. I le ma lenei, o aga a le tagata atamai, poto ma le mafaufau tatala, e faitau atoa i se tusitusiga and then respond, point for point, especially if you disagree. At least that’s what scholars and smart people do. And so for me -- and others I’m sure -- to know that you have a point and a credible argument, it’s only fitting that you write a rebuttal to refute my points in the article. Ok? 

Moreover, a rebuttal in which I hope you will use these “ate’s”: articulate (faamatala), illuminate (faapupula), elucidate (faamanino), explicate (faamaioio) and expatiate (faalautele). Please do that, and I’ll post your whole treatise and rebuttal here on the blog anonymously or with your full name and identity. 

There’s a blatant weakness in your moronic claim however. You see, there are two key parts of the post/article - Tautua and Pule. It’s a dichotomy in a sense. When you say that “E ola age lava le kagaka Samoa kaukua e augoa ma se makai. se'ia o'o lava iga pale gisi i suafa makai ae kaukua uma lava i le soifuaga o le kagaka,” you have a miniscule point. Ae e ‘ese le kaukua “e augoa ma se makai” ‘ese le kaukua i le makai. A kaukua o se kagaka o la e kausi loga aiga, e leai se makai, o le kaukua lega o soga lava kiuke o se faifakuaiga, AE o le kaukua i le makai, o loo iai le faamoemoe ma le kaugu’uga e pale ma maua le avagoa e pule ai ma ka’ika’i i le aiga. That’s the CONTEXT and CRUX of the whole kusikusiga. Serving with the automatic and deserving reward than just serving as a duty and obligation to the aiga are two different things. Magakua fo’i e le au uma se ‘au kaukua i se suafa. O le kaukua masagi (traditional) i le makai e aofia ai le faia o saoga kupe, mea’ai ma isi mea uma mo le makai. O le kele fo’i o kaukua faapea, e kofi lava e le aiga ma le makai se kasi e faia le kofi kaukua lea. E toe faapea atu o le TAUTUA lea e talanoaina i la'u tusitusiga o le TAUTUA e faamoemoe e avea ma matai (pule).  E iai nisi o tagata e te'i a ua matai e le'i "pusaina sana umu" e le'i "mu fo'i ma vela mata" (tautua matavela).  Aisea? Ona ua tele ana tupe, lelei le galuega ma "tu lelei". Ua tau maua mai?  Afai e leai, e pei la oute tau fesiligia lou Samoa poo se Samoa atoa poo se 'afa Samoa.

Afai fo'i o oe o se Samoa, ae le o oe la o se toa. Aua afai o oe o se toa, manaia le faailoa o lou suafa ma lou igoa. If not, it’s ok. In that way, only you will know your own stupidity and feebleness. It may sound better than publicizing your vaivai and faavasivasi, but remember your own individual and private realization can be even more hurtful, injurious and/or even more tragic than otherwise. 

 I hope and suggest that you read the whole post and then respond point for point. But if you change your mind and realize that there’s meat in it, then all the better. Read AND Learn.

If not, HANG LOOSE brada!!!! Hahahaaaa
