I do not agree agree with all aspects of the philosophy of Ayn Rand, but I think Howard Roark in some way is the most perfect theory ever written in literature.

Roark has been a man to be pure self-esteem: self-love, without any plausible for the validation of others. It is indeed a desirable characteristic.

This pure self-esteem is determined by the fact that he demonstrates no resentment against others. I do not hate or judge others, or it can cause damage. Do not hit his radar. He can fall easily. I see how it can seem cold or other insult (the two characters in the book and readers), but in truth, I think it is this characteristic that the quality of their self-esteem more than anything else confirmed. Someone who really hate not at peace with itself other for their opinions.

However, there is a corollary to this idea that I think Ayn Rand has been lost ...

If the character of Howard Roark were flesh and blood, not the architect said the two dimensions that Ayn Rand, and if you reallyare purely self-esteem, would be a little different.

A person with self-esteem of the pure truth, he has so much would love of others. That is what is true love: love for yourself that will erupt across the world that surrounds us. And Roark, how much more reserved in his love. This points to a deficit in their self-esteem.

Rand believed in the man (or woman) as a hero who believed in our unlimited potential, and especially (for me) who thought that life is meant to be happy. I like these aspects of his philosophy.

But he also believes that some people are not worthy of love. I heard an interview that he was the others who have believed, "worthy of love" on the basis of their actions and a higher opinion.

This is where I agree with Ayn Rand. When Roark was in fact in his love completely to himself, he would have been able to love others unconditionally. And he did. Ayn Rand was a brilliant philosopher and writer, but if they are self-confidence, she HAVI have no conflict between philosophy and other wonderful love in a position to others unconditionally.

This, in my opinion, is the definition of selfishness: selfishness, love does not embrace himself - and to the exclusion of others, but as the others. But we must love ourselves first. Our ability to love others determined by our ability to love. The so-called "love" when he is without love, no love. It's the fear. It tries to fill the emptiness in us by external means - and this is impossible.

Thus, at every level of agreement or disagreement with the philosophy of women's edge, so you can enjoy the aspects of what they are. For the rest, what would be someone of pure self-esteem: let it go.

Enjoy!

I do not know how the cold, selfish man. I do not believe in the philosophy of selfishness. I do not agree with Ayn Rand, above all, it is cruelty, and cruelty and contempt for those who confirmed with their opinion. It was very lonely and unhappy in real life. Read his biography you will be surprised at all distant from each other.

I love the character and philosophy. Read "Atlas Shrugged" as well. I thought I was carrying the message of self-determination, a little further. I'm beginning to decline imagined in my own city to see.
The lady was a prophet and a damn good writer.
