Buildings Vs. Architecture

Abstract

In both instances there is understanding and sympathy for the wronged professional. For, although the doctor is in overall charge of the physical well-being of the patient (and the politician, the management of the society) there is instant recognition that many of the secondary responsibilities of this task have been delegated to various other agencies. Neither the doctor nor the politician is thus unduly worried (and therefore minds his own business) and live to worry on the day their essential business (and therefore their specific responsibilities) are found to be un attended to. This seeming selfishness, as Ayn Rand would explain, has its merits. Worry, when selfish, focusses examination on the essentials and therefore, hope­fully, on the specific role of the professional. This is how professions evolved and are strengthened and their role more clearly defined and shortcomings overcome
