“I figured this out when I got married. I live for my wife and children.”

Don’t you love them? It is not sacrifice to live for the sake of what you love.

If what you do for your wife and children you were forced to do for another’s wife and children that would be slavery, or if you did it out of some misplace compasion, it would be sacrifice, and if you did it at the expense of those you love, it would be evil.

“Love is exception making,” Rand said. If you didn’t live for your wife and children, Rand would say you didn’t love them.

Indeed. And if so, then either her morality is not objective; or John Galt ended up being a looter.

Funny, that....
