Side B
I recall a moment from my childhood; When I allowed the many backward philosophies of the human race to decimate my worldly naive euphoria.

Letter to a dear friend..
In regards to human nature vs. free will, the door has been opened. Are we wired to desire? Are we conditioned to believe and desire material objects? Or, can we separate from our conciousness and analyze situations with no emotion, no lack of logic? I believe individuals can surpass "luck", and "genes". I don't believe we are pre-destined to do specific things. You make a choice, somethimes without being precisely logical, or rational, nonetheless YOU make a choice. There was no map written before the dawn of man that can account for the decisions you, friend, have made, or will make. Therefore, I believe it to be possible to achieve such a society where individuals can think logically and act rationally. Greed, power lust; these are all ideals humans have been conditioned to BELIEVE as inescapable.
I take a portion my ideals from the author and objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand. A bit of a background on her: She escaped Russia during the revolution of 1917. Rand was very anti- communism. Her writings are written with high regards to the individual and no regard to the collectivist society. A couple of her works that I have read are: The Fountainhead and Anthem. She also wrote, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.
I took her objectivist philosophy and applied to the ideal of communism, and came out with the base of an ideal that I follow. The individual must be selfish, (Rand also believed that selfishness is a virtue, which I know can sound absurd but read more into it:www.objectivistcenter.org/cth--406-FAQ_Virtue_Selfishness.as
px).
And, quit attempting to "do good", and living the selfless life. The individuals who do so; who live to do good for others, are not living for THEMSELVES. This way of thinking, the selflesness, does nothing for the individual, except hinder their own potential as a true asset to the human community. We can not begin living for each other, until we truely know how to live for ourselves. We must sacrafice the tags, the brands, the labels and the groups. The religion, the race, the class status. This is hinderance to the individual and to the human community on a MASS SCALE. The artists, the thinkers, the philosophers, the non- conformists are hardley appreciated because they rarely conform, they live for themselves, their ideals; their art. And they are the crazy ones? Because they pursue passion, seek truth and know how to appreciate their own attributes and can contribute to the human community. I believe, by seeking passion, which cannot be done unless abolishing the separation of class, social tatus, race, sexuality, sex, gender, religion; the individual will actually SEE what lies within themself. Realize that, and only then can genuinely contribute to the human community. Clothes, cars, money, name; does not shape a person, it creates segregation and ensures the demise of the human community. I will stop here for now. Check out that link and think about what I said. I don't understand how others can be so blind to this.
