Postscript...
Still thinking about Roark,
the architect,
(or what I know of his character
from the first half of "The Fountainhead")
and thinking about Watterson,
the comic strip creator.
Realizing it is not Roark's
single minded focus
on his vocation
that draws me.
Rather,
it is the integrity
with which he simmers.
Easy to confuse the two.
But a person can have
Roark's integrity,
his refusal to sell out his principles,
without focusing their life on
a particular career
or project.
Perhaps less of a challenge
to maintain integrity with less focus...
since the biggest threat
to integrity
is success.
