Objectivism

[badger_lord_87]

"You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live

It's a nice quote.
Very broad, I'd like to be able to read it in the context of the story (on top of 6 other books I have to read...yeah right I am gonna get to it any time soon.)
My grandma was really weird though when I told her you were reading a book written by Ayn Rand...
It was when you first were reading Atlas Shrugged and she doesn't want me to read it o_0
Something about the author being someone she looked up to at one point, then seeing she was a bad person or whatever.
Yeah xD

Ayn Rand is a kinda crazy person. Its really anti-religious. That might be why.
Ok not insanly anti-religious but the ideology the author believes in doesn't believe in God and that is apparent in her writing.
