A Great Idea!

“Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.”

-- Ayn Rand.

* Read parts of The Fountainhead again! Had liked the book when I read it first. Felt like the book can be the light to follow. Lately have realised that it was more than idealism. It was ... I don't have words!
Certainly wasn't what I expected it to be. I used to turn to the book when I was frustrated and depressed. But life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.

Yes! 'the great idea' has clicked!
