Read the excerpt from Anthem, by Ayn Rand. I do not surrender my treasures, nor do I share them. The fortune of my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. The imagery of treasure and fortune helps to establish which theme? Wealth that is earned does not need to be shared. Wealth and greed are destructive to the spirit. A person’s moral duty is to share wealth with the less fortunate. The most valuable human possessions are individuality and independence.
