How can I make my thesis clear in this introduction?

Today, we live in a society where we are free to choose whomever we want to marry, unlike in the short story, “The Needle”, by Isaac Bashevis Singer. -------->It must therefore be true that people themselves are just as qualified as matchmakers are; both can thread relationships with a needle, that is, the key to love. <--------When creating a successful marriage, one must always have a keen eye and a sharp end like a needle. If one can accord to such a discovery, why trouble someone else to do the same? To go about finding your Romeo or Juliet in the right way, all you need is to be guided by pure intent, while going about it the wrong way can lead to disastrous results, and finally, never amuse oneself that you have truly understood the magic behind true love.

thanks.

... you were to put Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and Anton LaVey all in the same room? What conversations would stir? Would arguments ensue? Utterly uncomfortable silences, maybe?

I guess what I'm asking is, do you think these three have clear distinctions in their philosophies, or are they just historical figures who've reiterated the same ideas of existentialism/objectivism/satanism?

Considering a 'pursuit of happiness' we can generally describe this as 'doing as we want' or 'doing what makes us happy'. If doing what we want includes doing war against another, then the pursuit of happiness in counter productive to the goal of world peace.

If waring with a neighbour makes us happy, if waring with another religion makes us happy, if waring with a conflicting political system makes us happy then, the pursuit of happiness ends world peace.

Is happiness counterproductive to world peace?

I see darkness in myself.
I see the light as knowledge and the wisdom of the world and
understanding others,
and in order for me to be a, to be a true human being,
I can't forever dwell in darkness,
I can't forever dwell in the idea,
of just identifying with people like me and understanding me and mine.

If there is nothing wrong with having money, why do so many people do their best to spend money and be free of money.

Evidence: more is spent than is saved.
