March 8, 2012 (Objectivism)

I had a fairly pleasant evening today with only minimum amount of homework, yet I still managed to be typing my blog at 11:10 at night. Sometimes I just don't get myself :P. Alright, a reflection on my day. Today went on generally quite well and I was surprised by some teacher's kindness towards me. I decided that the world is filled with too many opportunities for me to give up. I suppose I will try even harder then :) . These days I decided to talk about philosophical things in my blog to fill up some empty space and also to fill my thoughts. Last time I discussed the meaning of life( for those who didn't read it, my answer is to LIVE. If you don't understand, please go check it out :)) Today I would like to give feedback toward Ayn Rand and her philosophical approach towards life- objectivism. I would personally say that I stand in between her theory and her opposites. It is true that men should do their best in pursuing their own happiness, but could they put that value above all means? What of morality then? Should rationality completely take over emotions and become the supreme of human beings? I honestly don't know. Just thought her theory was kind of interesting. Should we try to make our lives happy and make that the objective of our existence?
