“We do not think that tragedy is our natural state. We do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have specific reason to expect it, and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering, that we consider unnatural. It is not success but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.”
I'm a student of Objectivism with interests in science, philosophy, politics, computers, weight training, and gaming. I don't claim to speak for Objectivism and if you want to know more about it, then read Ayn Rand's published works.
