Reflections on Society and Life

Reflections on Society and Life presents controversial and thought-provoking ideas on a variety of subjects. An original, bold and insightful collection of over 600 amusing ideas on social, political, economic and personal issues. The ideas presented here have been written as aphorisms-short sentences that express an idea, truth, sentiment, or opinion. These aphorisms range from the simple to the deep, and from humorous to serious. Beyond their capacity to entertain, their value lies in the fact that they can be used-should you choose to do so-as points of departure for discussing, expanding, honing and reflecting on your own thoughts, beliefs and viewpoints. Some excerpts: Politics involves choosing sides based onżinfluence, money, envy and revenge. Success, like beauty is often in the eye of the beholder. Obsession is passion without depth. Ignoring reality is easy-it is getting realityżto ignore us that it difficult. Feelings are thoughts without the words. Absolute power taunts all. Those who are its targets condemn it, while those who seek it areżtormented by its elusiveness. Journeys should bring us happiness--żdestinations, joy.
