Relating Dostoyevsky to Ayn Rand

I was looking through Atlas Shrugged the other day and I found a quote that relates well to what we are discussing in Notes From the Underground. It read:

"For centuries, the battle of morality was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to God and those who claimed that it belongs to your neighbors- between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of ghosts in heaven and those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of the incompetants on earth. And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it."

I believe this idea can be compared to Dostoyevsky's message. He writes that often times, man tries to appear moral to those around him simply to prove that he is above them. In truth, however, most people sooner or later have been "false to themselves".
Society creates rules that tell us what is right and what is wrong; it builds a wall to provide a sense of comfort and safety. If society tells us exactly what is in our best interest, it sets up a predetermined path. Some of us stray from the path simply to show that we can; others create new paths and restrictions in the name of freedom and good. The three pillars that we have created set us up to be piano keys from birth; they tell us how to live and behave with the false assertion that what is good and moral is always in our best interest.
