I Just Read The Fountainhead

I understand everything. I understand my place and purpose in the world. I can be happy anywhere. I'm meant to be happy. Everyone is. Happiness is truly the default state. One must be selfish in order to truly be happy.

I haven't left my apartment besides the occasional dinner at Yong Udong or Pizza School or recently the Traditional Korean Porridge place. I haven't been so happy to be alone and in my own skin in ages. I finally understand the virtue of selfishness... I never thought I would understand it, yet here it is.

There is an insidious, discreet control exerted over the masses. Even among parents, families and children. It's scary. There is one defense against control...that is human logic and reason. I wont fall in line. I live for myself to do and produce that which I desire. In this way, yes, I am selfish.
