misunderstood, methinks.
I feel like a lot of people really misunderstood what I was going for, so let me clarify.
…
i was trying to say that people should be judged based on their actions, not whether you think they deserve what they have, or whether they do what you would like them to do (or would do in their place) with their status.
also, i cringe at anyone thinking i agree with Rand about anything.
i feel really terribly misunderstood here, because it rankles that someone would suggest i don’t think it’s worthwhile to help those in need. all i said was, being rich when someone else is poor doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, even if you show no signs of guilt about being rich.
I assumed I was misunderstanding you from the start based on the point of view of everything else you’ve written, but I wanted to clarify, and it was also an opportunity to work out some my own thoughts on the matter. Thanks for starting the discussion.
