Fountainhead
You are an Altruist.
You: ‘selfless because you give”
You Put others in front of you.
Agree with all else’s point of view? You are better than me because of this?
You shun me and call me an egotist?
I am. I am the creator.
Without others, you are nothing. You need others.
Without me, you are nothing. You need me. If To make and create for one’s own self is bad, Then what is it exactly that you so selflessly give away?
Would it be, that without me, You’d have nothing. We’re taught to admire the second-hander who dispenses gifts he has not produced, above the man who made the gifts possible.We praise an act of charity.We shrug at an act of achievement
I am the creator. No. not a recluse. Not selfish.
I am the creator. Non-conformist. Independent.
You? You’re a second-hander, an imitator, dependent
I think. I Judge, I act, I feel.
You, you look around to see what you will, think, say, and feel.
I am the creator.
Without me, you’d have nothing to give.
I am the Egotist
I am the achiever, I am the inventor, I am the salmon, in a society’s current.
I am…The architect…
