is there a roark in all of us ?

Ayn Rand's Fountain head- naa i didnt finish the book. I put it down , got started on my study oriented project,on currency areas ( And switched to pointless surfing on the net)
Thats what i am expected to do , stick to deadlines , exams , reports, labs, presentations,
not read , learn , explore.
Is there a Howard Roark in all of us ? struggling for expression ? To move away from all the constraints , paths fixed by the society.
Are we just following a well laid road, leaving the rest of the countryside unexplored ?
Where will this road lead us ? After all, ultimately to the grave.
No its not pessimism , just a thought, if its going to be just one journey, why take the beaten path. The end is the same , without doubt . The joy is the journey . The joy is in exploring. why worry about where a way less traveled will lead us to ultimately ?
The journey is life, not the destination.

Tonight at three I pray,
Oh lord dont show me the way,
help me blaze a trail
to a land where no1 has set sail


Ps: thoughts @ 3am in the night are usually dismissed as junk after a good night's sleep
