Nathaniel Rand writes (Page 58 of the book Who Is Ayn Rand?) that if a man chooses values that are consonant with the facts of reality and the needs of his own nature, then these values will work in service of his life.
I agree for the most part, but the world is an evil world, and if a man selects values that are consonant with that, then he will not grow morally and the world will suffer.
If he is a natural kleptomaniac, and he needs to steal, then those values will not work for him, as he is convicted and spend his life wating away in prison.
In a large part she is correct, but morality is rarely simple to define.
