Ayn Rand philosophy was for people to be selfish.
I agree with her philosophy. I think theres nothing wrong with being a little selfish. All humans are. Some more than others. Were made to be selfish unless your a mother or a father. Other than that all humans are mainly worried about themselves and theres nothing wrong with that. I want to go to a good college. What if I go to Oxford College, its in England. I could be consider selfish because I'm not worried about my family missing me, I want a good education so I'm going to go to a good school no matter where its at.
