Is there no middle path?

Imagine a kindergarten with 100 students, lavishly supplied with books, crayons and toys. Yet you gasp: one avaricious little boy is jealously guarding a mountain of toys for himself. A handful of other children are quietly playing with a few toys each, while 90 of the children are looking on forlornly — empty-handed. The one greedy boy has hoarded more toys than all those 90 children put together! “What’s going on?” you ask. “Let’s learn to share! One child shouldn't hog everything for himself!” The greedy little boy looks at you, indignant. “Do you believe in redistribution?” he asks suspiciously, his lips curling in contempt. “I don’t want to share. This is America!” (Courtesy : NY Times Article)

Is n't it true for any society in the world, including communist China and Socialist India with Robin Hood like political thieves or for that matter nanny states that are in doldrums across Europe? 

Not sure where we are heading with "Greed is good, greed works" philosophy.

As we age...

Maturity develops and the perspectives widen, the smaller the power of the individual appears, and the greater the power of those forces flowing through the individual. From regarding yourself as an Ayn Randian Superman, who is the architect of the wonder that is you in your 20s .. to someone with lower estimation of one's own power and a greater estimation of the power of the rules and peculiarities of the environment you happen to be in by adapting to navigate .. to someone who start valuing relationships .. to someone awestruck by astonishing importance of luck in one's life .. 

Looks can deceive

Happy New Year 2012

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
   Ring, happy bells, across the globe;
   The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind
   For those that here we see no more;
  Ring in the valiant man and free,
   The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
