More From Ayn Rand

Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism... patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves nobler, better, grander, more intelligent than those living beings inhabiting any other spot. it is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others.
Patriotic Fighting Intelligent
The more people that understand and are made able to spot liberalism, and then the more people are able to associate liberalism with the problems in their lives, the political problems, the economic problems, the more people can be conditioned and educated to understand that liberalism is the problem, coupled with the ability to spot it, would be the fastest way to eradicate it. it would be really helpful if we had a republican party engaged in this.

The brain "fills in" the missing information from the blind spot. notice what you see in the location of the dot when it's in your blind spot. when the dot disappears, you do not perceive a hole of whiteness or blackness in its place; instead your brain invents a patch of the background pattern. your brain, with no information from that particular spot in visual space, fills in with the patterns around it. you're not perceiving what's out there. you're perceiving whatever your brain tells you.
Blind Spots Space Missing
Hidden in all good fortune is misfortune. and in all misfortune is good fortune. it's never going to stay the same as long you are in the world or unless you die while you are alive and become an enlightened zen master. but those people don't exist. when you study their lives, you find that they had the same struggles as the rest of us. it's not so much about being able to always have calm. calmness isn't just the absence of noise or troubles. it's being able to find calm within yourself when other stuff is going on.
Struggle Long People
There are some delightful places in this world which have a sensual charm for the eyes. one loves them with a physical love. we people who are attracted by the countryside cherish fond memories of certain springs, certain woods, certain ponds, certain hills, which have become familiar sights and can touch our hearts like happy events. sometimes indeed the memory goes back towards a forest glade, or a spot on a river bank or an orchard in blossom, glimpsed only once on a happy day, but preserved in our heart.
Memories Spring Eye
A certain kind of shittiness, a certain kind of stagnation, a certain kind of darkness, goes on propagating itself by its own power in its own self-contained cycle. and once it passes a certain point, no one can stop it-even if the person himself wants to stop it.

The highest point of humility consists in not merely acknowledging one's abjection, but in taking pleasure therein, not from any want of breadth or courage, but to give the more glory to god's divine majesty, and to esteem one's neighbour more highly than one's self.
Humility Self Giving
