Several points, Christine.

COMPASSION CAN ONLY BE A SELFISH VIRTUE. ALL VIRTUES ARE INHERENTLY
SELFISH. ALL CLAIMS OF UNSELFISH VIRTUE ARE A DELIBERATE LIE (OLDER) OR THE CLAIMS OF DELUSIONAL UNLEARNED ONES (YOUNGER).

POSITIVE THINKING ALONE CAN BE DEVASTATING TO A HUMAN SPIRIT. THIS
FALSE PREMISE IS OFTEN FOUND IN MANIC/DEPRESSIVE AND END IN SUICIDE.

YOU MUST BE RATIONAL ALL OF THE TIME. THIS REPRESENTS TRUE FREEDOM
FROM THE CONSCRIPTIONS OF MUDDLED THOUGHT. YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BE IRRATIONAL AT ANY TIME. YOUR POSITION ON THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. JOY AND REASON ARE NOT IN CONFLICT NOR IS IT NECESSARY TO BE IRRATIONAL IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE JOY.

NEVER ASSUME YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN ANY SEXUAL FORAY.

DO NOT CONFUSE YOUR IDEALISTIC MAN TO WHAT HE REALLY IS. SOUNDS TO
JOHN GALT, YOU ARE DELUSIONAL AND YOU'RE MAN IS PROBABLY TAKEN YOU
FOR A RIDE.
