Great piece.

There are many types of love. The one dimensional view depicted here is typical of Rand followers. This brand of love is based on 'what you can do for me'. How depressing and hopeless. There is not one human who can measure up to anothers standard. This article's title should be edited to simply read Selfishness.

"The time, effort and money you spend on behalf of someone you love are not sacrifices, but actions taken because his or her happiness is crucially important to your own."

A great article and an opinion that I agree with entirely.

Those who argue that love demands self-denial must hold the bizarre belief that it makes no personal difference whether your loved one is healthy or sick, feels pleasure or pain, is alive or dead.

Remember how Orwell wrote about how the Burmese Communist Party came up with a written text that it's member were to use for marriage proposals ? When ideologues try to regiment their feelings along the lines of how they think people Ought to be, they say things as silly as this.

For richer for poorer ? In sickness and in health ? Or does Randian love last only so long as I am rich and you are young and pretty ?

Might as well ask a beaver about the proper use of chainsaws.

Rand-ism is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn't go very far.
