The main themes in the Fountainhead centered on individualism versus collectivism. Some of the lesson that I took from the book includes:
People are not meant to share a brain, they must think for themselves, not just adopt someone else’s opinion as their own.
People must define their own self-image, they must not use standard set by others to form their identity especially since popularity is flighty.
Be true to yourself because whatever you do not everyone will like you, understand or support you, and so to keep your own sanity, be your true self.
It is not that you should not be in agreement with other on various issues; agree with others because you do not because you think you must.
Some people are here on this earth to build and create things and we should allow them the freedom to do so.
Some people are here to put into use what others create, if you do not allow people to create freely, who will make they things you need to use?
All in All I like the book. There were couple characters I did not like but what can I say, they are who they are I cannot change that, I just have to be mindful of the antics of people like them-
