(So posting a body is nice. enter should take you down here. oh well)
I read part of "Anthem" by Ayn Rand the other day. She's known for her belief in objectivism, which is totally free business operation and ownership. I didn't like it and stopped a bit into it because I figured out what she was doing, which was knocking collectivism by associating it with fascism, which just isn't true, and I couldn't stand it.
Why is objectivism evil in my eyes? Well, because I'm the object being used right now. Working alone, for less money at the end of the week, to profit my bigger brother, who spits upon my best interest. Who will crush me if I dare speak. What sort of freedom, what sort of happiness is that?
And maybe absolute collectivism isn't best. Communism doesn't work. But at the same time, there's got to be a more fair way of doing things.
I'm just tired of it. The grind. The race.
Trying to scurry up the maze.
I'm just going to try to enjoy where I am.
