I thought it would be nice to blog about myself. Now i absolutely adore me and is that truly so wrong... Look at it this way we are a single entity that is able to function and do what ever it wants. people forget who they have to live with for thier entire lives....themselves so here is my opinion
1. I am amazing because of everything i love, everything i do, and all that i affect
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand is unoppesedly (if that is even a word) by Favorite Book of all time. It is plain amazing no lie. If you have read the book i am sure you agree but I would like to discuss the Temple Roark made 9i might blog about the rest of the book later but it is so much to cover).
You would think, that upon hearing my favorite book was to be adapted as a movie, I would at least be slightly intrigued, but my reaction was more akin to that of disgust. (I imagine it was much the same as when someone sugested that J.D Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" be defiled--perphaps too strong a word, but can you imagine the life of Holden Caulfield being put to song and dance?
There too much idealism within Ayn Rand’s books – the ideal of what a man, and a woman should be. The ideal that always stands to be perfection because of the contrasts she depicts – the contrasts of weak men partiality on unfocused humanitarian concepts that have no real sustainable or noble use to man’s development.
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Oh the heroism; the shear brilliance; the drama; the climax!
Just kidding. But I did enjoy digesting some of her philosophies and attempting to put on my environmentalist monocle in lue of her 'resources have no intrinsic value except when man develops them' basis for capitalism.
Literary criticism is not my strongest point, and I'm trying to improve. Below is a short essay I wrote a few weeks ago on the contrasting views of freedom found in two very different authors. It's not strictly related to the current fights, but it could make a nice jumping off point for beginning a conversation about what balance of freedom and equality we would like to see.
