Negative Positive
Title: whiny, wimpy babies!
Review: rand's first book, the fountainhead, converted me in an instant - it finally gave real world examples of believing in a purpose in life. therefore, i waited for the right opportunity (long trip overseas) to read atlas shrugged. after getting halfway through it, i am reluctantly putting it down because i can't stand the negativity anymore. a person can subscribe to rand's philosophy of Objectivism without having hatred or scorn for everyone and everything around you, but you wouldn't know it if you read this novel. the characters waste too much energy complaining and dropping out of the "unfair" society. what a bunch of whiny, wimpy babies! it's life - it's not gonna be fair! i have much more admiration for people that overcome without having to put down others to do it. now i have to wonder, was fountainhead the same and i'm different...or was fountainhead different?
