Veins of Greatness April 30, 2006

A thought struck me this morning. The relevance of the veins that carry our blood throughout to turn the course of our blood to the definitive actions that shape our present, past and future. These same veins were there in the bodies of great men that have passed us by. What was the course of their veins that carried their blood with such a force and vigour so as to etch their mark on the face of the human history and achievement?

This is a very abstract thought. But what made them a cut above the rest? When and where are we to realise the force, power and passions of these giants that have strided on the earth before us? The questions abound but the answers come up in trickles.

Ayn Rand:

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.

I

Its a word, but also a letter in its own right. I, seems complete and true in its own sense. I, seems perfect in its image and its bearing, but wait! What do i see from the distance? What do i sense from the winds that carry its scent to me? Yes! I understand, its not a pleasant smell, but the reeking stench, and decadence of collectivism.Its the sense of I that threatens its very existence. The word - I - with its magnificance, standing like a lone warrior, like a long blade waiting to strike into the very heart of WE and its collective magnitudes. It waits and waits in vain, for there is no wielder to this sacred weapon.

This sacred truth and weapon called the - I.

If pronounced in a fluid manner the last name of the famous character of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead sounds like Rock. And he is a veritable rock in the life depicted by Ayn Rand. Uncompromising, unbending he goes his way unperturbed by the masses that mock and work to destroy the individuality that he portrays.

Being reading "The Anthem" by Ayn Rand.
My most recent acquisition has been the anthem by Miss Rand. The story seems very basic, but beneath it carries a very powerful message. The message that is revealed at the end, hitting the reader with all its raw force……….
