individualism

In the silent heart of the city, where the cold steel structures seemed to touch the heavens, lived a man named John. John, an architect by profession, was a devoted follower of reason and reality. He was an ardent believer of individualism, the concept of self-reliance, and self-responsibility, as put forth by Ayn Rand in her masterpiece, 'Atlas Shrugged'. He scoffed at the notion of depending on others for his happiness.

In the heart of New York city, there was a peculiar architect, Elijah. He was not a man of prestige like Howard Roark. Nor was he a conformist like Peter Keating. Instead, he straddled the line between the two, a product of their philosophies colliding.
