Synopsis

Reflections on Society and Life presents an original and lively collection of over 600 aphorisms on social, political, economic and personal issues.
These aphorisms range from the simple to the deep, and from humorous to serious.
Some excerpts:
Politics involves choosing sides based on influence, 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 reality  to ignore us that is difficult.
Feelings are thoughts without the words.
Absolute power taunts all. Those who are its targets condemn it, while those who seek it are tormented by its elusiveness.
Journeys should bring us happiness-- destinations, joy.
