Ayn Rand & Abortion pt. 2

Ayn Rand is essentially correct. Abortion is a personal matter. The federal government should have no jurisdiction on that subject. However, the state governments are well within their rights to regulate abortion. However, Ayn Rand denigrates those that would state that life starts at conception for placing the life marker at the very beginning of the gestational period. On the other hand, Ayn Rand has chosen to place the life’s demarcation at the twenty-third week (and most likely in her time the thirtieth week).

Ayn Rand & God pt.1

AHS will periodically do a brief critical analysis of Ayn Rand’s views on particular topics she devoted her time to in her life. She was without a doubt one of the great thinkers of our time. The first installments of this series will go over the generalities of her view on abortion and God. This will be written as a lay response to a very intricate and involved Objectivist philosophy that incorporates realism and the rejection of metaphysics.

 

Forgive and Forget

These must be the most difficult phrase to live out in our day to day relationships.

 

Forgiving, if for nothing else, is a way to move on from a bad event or series of events with others. Moreover, forgiving is therapeutic for the wronged person. It allows the person to use their mental and physical energies towards other endeavors.

 

Forgiving also allows room for growth spiritually. Just about every religion espouses forgiveness on some level. This is not to protect the offender but to help the offended to completely release from the offender and his/her actions.
