If You Want A Human Existence You Better Learn What That Is Before Trying To Achieve It.

It may not be for you because you were taught and you learned to value others above yourself so a truly human form of existence won’t work unless you rid yourself of those inhuman values which you were taught. .

“Accept the fact that the achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness — not pain or mindless self-indulgence — is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. Happiness was the responsibility you dreaded, it required the kind of rational discipline you did not value yourself enough to assume — and the anxious staleness of your day is the monument to your evasion of the knowledge that there is no moral substitute for happiness, that there is no more despicable coward than the man who deserted the battle for his joy, fearing to assert his right to existence, lacking the courage and the loyalty to life of a bird or a flower reaching for the sun. Discard the protective rags of that vice which you called a virtue: humility — learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness — and when you learn that pride is the sum of all virtues, you will learn to live like a man.” 

That’s from Ayn Rand’s fictional Atlas Shrugged. Liberals hate it and her with a passion because they sense she will pull their false universe down over their heads. Rand presents a calm, superior, indifferent, disdainful countenance, which is an open challenge to society — shouting to it that it cannot break you. An immense explicit egotism — a thing the mob never forgives and cleverness, which makes the mob feel that a superior mind can exist entirely outside its established morals. That’s a danger to the mob and they know it. Rand is a danger to them too because she explained how simple it is to live a truly human life by following Reason, Reality and Capitalism. If you don’t know that read John Galts speech in Atlas Shrugged. Better yet read whatever you can find that Rand wrote, … absorb it and live it. It’s not so easy to do because she exposed not only what’s wrong with the political leadership, she explained how to get things right and correct and how to really live a human life.
