The Fountainhead

jz finishd readin it............
i wanna correct myself....from the previous blog....
i dont wish any midway to balance anything.............
Roark.........is a man of integrity..........who respects himself...........n i need not say here tht self respect is any man's greatest possession, strength,........his soul...........
to me to preserve one's soul intact shud b the prime concern..........n all suffering wud vanish........if everyone.....dares to follow tht........
i'll make my best effort...........m on it ......n hw successful i m .............time wud tell.........
i cant say if i wud remember every great line written by Miss Rand...........but yes.......... she has succeeded in formin a clear picture of the ideologies......the value system tht i hav been given by my family.......
letz jz not get too much philosophical...n all.........
but if only all second-handers dissapeared n everyone dared for originality...............life wud hav been much more beautiful...n peaceful.......
neways............great readin it.......n i recommend to all........u'll jz need a lil bit of patience........a virtue one shud hav....rite?

The Fountainhead

well m readin it....n m really baffled by the sheer ability of Ayn Rand to portray all those varied STRONG characters so vividly.....no doubt m readin the centennial edition....
Roark is a man of integrity n ideals..................he lives for architecture............
Keating is SELFISH and lives for himself...sorry ...for the image ppl will have of him.......in simple words a show off.........
Roark is apparantly failin......n Keating is a failure to himself his conscience.......which he killd long back.........
now wat kinda person m i? i wonder......
i blv in ideals n m not so weak to kill my conscience ........i hav the guts to lisn to it.....n go accordingly.........but material success matters........money matters..........
i juz pray to the Supreme..........to giv me enuf strength to walk a path that balances it off.....
n i emerge a victor both for my conscience n my material being........
n rest of the characters........Elsie, Wynand.........etc r juz the kind of ppl we'll come across........
so i keep a reminder to myself..............1st impressions........shouldnt b last impressions............
so long........
