Another little weirdness, I had recently posted in Steve's forum that
Atlas Shrugged is an awesome book although seriously in need of an editor (she should have had more faith in herself to convey her views by simply telling the story). I have not read it in years, though, so perhaps I should dust it off and read it again. I really like the book very much.
I wasn't so much trying to express guilty feelings about the way society is set up as far as work, but the way that my views about money and work got very distorted over time, so that I was constantly insisting that money isn't important and people shouldn't sell their souls to work 40 hours or more doing something they don't like, etc., and in the meantime, I was very stupid about money and relying too much on credit because I always figured someday I would finally make something happen, without my having to go do all this junk I was always protesting about. I was very idealistic for a very, very long time. Right now I'm tired.
