Allexa

Thank you all for your replies.... as for the quotes... I have already read them.... I only have a few pages till I finish Atlas Shrugged.... CNA or Angie.... ( I don't know exactly your name).... you gave me a part of the answer .... may question was not why did Cherryl kill herself... it was why does Ayn Rand agree with suicide? isn't it against the Objectivist principles?.... I just think that killing yourself is not the answer.... Dagny didn't kill herself... nor did the other Objectivists... they fought.... and yeah tndbay (again I don't know your name)... I know what the condition for entering Galt's guch was.... and if you already posted the message... it can't be ignored.... I never ignore the answers that I receive for the questions I asked.... anyway... if you have some new ideas... and if you can explain to me how come Ayn Rand agrees with suicide.... pls don't hesitate do to so.... ( I should probably take a look over some chapters from The Virtue of Selfishness... and see if I can find the passage where she talks about this.... ).... bye and thank you again

I'm Allexa.... and I recently joined this Objectivist Community.... but I have a question and I don't know to what field to relate it.... the question goes like this.... I read in Atlas Shrugged.... about the wife of James Taggart and about her suicide.... do u agree with that?... don't you find it against the Objectivist principles?.... I mean.... Objectivism considers one's life as being the most important thing ... so how come Ayn Rand agreed with suicide?.... and if I am not wrong in The virtue of selfishness... there was something about this too... but related to the feeling of love... it was like this: if the person you love dyes and if you do not find any joy in your life anymore... you are free to comit suicide.... maybe I didn't get it right... or maybe it has to do with the intensity of love... and with the fact that you lose the person you need

Hello, My name is Allexa and I'm a 20-year old Romanian student at the Academy of Economic Studies. I'm really interested in Ayn Rand's philosophy, but as there is no Objectivist club in Romania my only chance to meet Objectivist people is here. So don't hesitate to contact me . Bye
