Sense of Life
hey, it's a sunshine day. this morning as i drove in to work fraser called to let me know he was taping a special on the independent film channel about the life of ayn rand. and then, a USA Today article claims that corporate types are reading Atlas Shrugged like nobody's business these days. why? well, it's simple:
CEOs put the book down knowing in their hearts that they are not the greedy crooks they are portrayed to be in today's business headlines but are heroes like the characters in Rand's novel. They strive to be real-life achievers who do far more to lift the world's standard of living, cure disease and end starvation than Mother Teresa and altruists who believe a full life requires self-sacrifice and serving the needs of others.
the article lists atlas shrugged as the second most influential book next to the bible. how different the world would be if those were reversed, and each man had the courage to live his highest possible life, with no fear or guilt, and no sense of obligation.
