That something happened to you is of no importance to anyone, not even to you. The important thing about you is what you choose to make happen - your values and choices. That which happened by accident - what family you were born into, in what country, and where you went to school - is totally unimportant.
Ayn RandPeople said it because other people said it. They did not know why it was being said and heard everywhere. they did not give or ask for reasons.
