'I' love you

Ayn Rand says, to say I love you, one must first learn to say the I. In her classics, Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, she painted a picture of a perfect man and a perfect woman. It has been 10 years since I first read the Fountainhead accidentally, and then lapped up Atlas Shrugged with a thirst unknown to me. These two books were to paint my whole self with colors that were only in my dreams somewhere. These books didn't teach me anything,they gave me the bricks to build on. Build on at my free will, build with berserk but unusually controlled imagination. And what fun I had, building it brick by brick, cementing further with lessons I learnt on the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter Keating: Do you always have to have a purpose? Do you always have to be so damn serious? Can't you ever do things without reason, just like everybody else? You're so serious, so old. Everything's important with you. Everything's great, significant in some way, every minute, even when you keep still. Can't you ever be comfortable--and unimportant?"

Howard Roark: "No."

Still building......

So long,
