Confusiuos for Confusion

I panic. I rush to the refrigirator for Smoked Salmon Sandwhich. 

Eating helps relieving stress. The thesis work ahead is enormous. And time too small. 

I am stuck with a bug in my matlab code.

Eat Smakelijk!

God bless the Salmon!

The bug in my code still exists !

Godddamit !!!

Time to take a break with my Stress Busters : Idiot box 

A glimse of reality from around the world:

 Europe faces recession

 USA struggles with 'depression'

 Australia is under fire

 China faces drought

 Gaza, Lanka wounded by war

 Africa haunted with epidemics

 India bleeds with religious conflicts

I wonder if mein kamf with petty challenges in my self contained life has any comparison with the greater challenges facing the world. The guilt of my selfish motives over altruism confuses me and stresses me out.

Well done Stress Buster !!

The phylosophy of Ayn Rand comes to rescue my troubling mind :

' A man is an end in himself '.

'Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life.   read more'

I don't know if I truely believe in it. Or is it just a my escape route.

Did I not believe in Gandhian Principles ? Did he not preach altruism ? or did he ?

The questions have always bothered me, and its about time I face them.
