Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand view of selfishness and her philosophy of Objectivism with the Buddhist ethics of altruism do not mix well. Rand thoughts that altruism was harmful to people as a society because the desires to help yourself is evil. on the other hand for the Buddhist philosophy argued by Gunapala Dharmasari preaches the idea of karma and Ahisma which says not to harm anything even the smallest creatures. Rand’s ideas and the Buddhist ideas …

…is Ahism because of the fact that if everyone took a little more time an thought of who would be effected by their choices it would be a better life to live. Although you cant make everyone happy you can do you best to create a better place for others. This then gives a high state of mind which then produces a relaxed high performance life, which we all want to be a part of.
