Ayn Rand admired

I do like Ayn Rands logically analytic thinking.

However, I see that she is, as we all are victims of our own self belief. I won't argue her logic other than every single one of us can define ourselves by what we think we are and what our peers give back to us, but none of us can think beyond our capacity to believe.

Ayn Rand is always saying she believes in herself and therefore can support it with logic as can you and I. She is also saying that she is responsible for that, which to me defines anybodies morality, whether they think for themselves or allow others to do it for them

She constantly defines morality as self motivating and self responsibility which in essence comes to the same conclusion as Christians, only that Christians credit a deity and she credits logic (Which she borrows from a mind that she gets to use while living).

Perhaps like all humans she has talked herself into logical circle by proving their is a self, defined it as her own making, and in living it with intense scrutiny and logic beyond everyday reality she herself showed that divine intervention has made life possible because it can extrapolate self from nothing.

I totally agree with her thoughts that if you choose to be a slave you then become a slave as even the philosophy of Christians does not deny that men are slaves to their own will or another's and accepts one master over the other daily.

Somehow I never get how every deep thinker has to believe they are contrary to the divine and then spend a life time trying to prove authorship of their wisdom or conjecture as unique, but isn’t that the pitfall of self.

Simple put, we are a wheel rolling down a hill and can completely diagnose the wheel its shape, its motion and sometimes predict its destiny but we can not see or understand who built it or his final idea or inspiration as it happened before there was a thing. That is why people must explore faith and reason to satisfy the human curiosity to understand why the wheel?

Ayn hasn't the logic to explore that as she has negated faith as a blindness that ensnares and leaves the mind open to be trapped by some one else’s ploys. I don't think it is very far from wise yet it is very defensive...almost a shield against outside influences that she does not approve through her logic... .but still I can't conclude that life wasn't originated by a thought instead of by a simple twist of fate.

To me truths would have no value if the universe itself was not a truth and since we can think, reason and ponder, so must the universes author....nothing can't beget something is scientific...so there fore something beget it all.........Ayn Rand says as much by denying a universal author by claiming you can't get something from nothing, or disprove a negative; when that is exactly the argument against being an atheist, in that the universe itself could not have come from nothing, therefore there is something.

Just what, is an ever day exploration that needs your commitment and that is where Ayn and I totally agree.

One has to wonder though, if you spent your entire life trying to unravel the logically origin of all things unknown would you have time to live.............
