Skin Cancer and Ayn Rand

Skin cancer and Ayn Rand So another sunny day is sinking into the sea I sat in the sun for a while but it got too hot I do not understand people who sit for hours in the sun, hot and painful just to get a tan. I get a tan in the summer this by riding mine bike around for an hour or so, only lately with advancing years I easily tires and having had skin cancer I’m careful. In January,I collapsed, ambulance sirens and so on; I was dying, too stupid to notice as death is banal. Elderliness is an affliction that is depressing, the loss of power, when steps in the hall are obstacles, negotiations of the will, this sounded like Ayn Rand whose teaching is the antithesis of a just society, it worth noticing the rich think she is a goddess their inhumanity have a philosophical point. Ayn Rand died in a madhouse. I have no political ambitions, but I do believe in quality for all people, I regret to say it is only just for some people.

this is deep and sad - my dad had skin cancer but it was 2 other cancers that killed him in the end. I agree equality for all would be wonderful but sadly life isn't like that:-( Hugs Jan xx
