Selfish love

posted on: February 22, 2024

Feeling very much under the weather at the moment, I’ve caught a bad cold and it’s quite hard refraining from over-extending myself as I normally would. I have some photo posts to catch up on!

In the meantime here’s something I came across recently that I thought I should share - a thought provoking article about selfish love, equal love, a creed that Objectivist Ayn Rand has always stood for..

“Love is not self-sacrifice, but the most profound assertion of your own needs and values. It is for your own happiness that you need the person you love, and that is the greatest compliment, the greatest tribute you can pay to that person.”
– Playboy’s Interview with Ayn Rand, March 1964

While mainly about romantic love I think the values discussed in this article applies to all important relationships that we forge because the people closest to our hearts are our equals and to be loved and appreciated in return for who you are rather than what you sacrifice is the most honest form of love there is.

Aquarians - Sueann and I turn 30 this month!

When I was really young, I couldn’t wait to turn 15 because it seemed like an age where I’d be old enough to do the things I want to do. When I was 15, I wanted to be 18, so I could party (legally!) with the rest of my friends who were mostly 2-3 years older than I was. When I was 18, I couldn’t wait to be 21. When I was 21, I stopped wishing I was older and started to appreciate my life for what it was. Today I turn 30, which is somewhat of a milestone I suppose! The past decade has been such a crazy ride. I spent quite a big part of it trying to find my own space, and while there’s always room for improvement, I’m so much closer to being where I want to be now. It’s a great feeling!
