FFL: Roark: One

Stuck. In the rut. Dissatisfied with almost everything around me. 7-10 years back, the aspirations and expectations from life were either zero or completely different. As the world expanded, they kept drifting and changing. As the world opened, I explored more. I realized that there is much more to life than sitting on that chair and gazing out of the window. But reaching out to any of it needs a lot of courage and disregard to people, relationships and emotions – yours and others.
Have finally crossed the 40 page mark in Fountainhead. And have realized that Roark ‘s arrogance is uncalled for. Maybe its too early for me to judge him. A complete disregard to the system, society and set norms is justified. But u cannot refuse to look at what’s happened in the past. How will u not repeat the mistakes that others have made in design, if you don’t read / discuss about them? Or are u so unbelievably arrogant that you think you can never go wrong?
