Politics: The fine art of appearing to do, while doing nothing.
We, all, have opinions on everything. But we don’t have answers to basic questions.
Democracy: Rule by a minority clique by manipulating the majority vote.
If you are reading this you can’t possibly complain: mobile phone, internet, English, time to read, friends…Count blessings!
Those who celebrate success vulgarly lack sense of history.
More people fail than they succeed. Yet few are trained to cope with failure in good grace, thus compounding the misery.
When feeling miserable at being wronged, switch on your TV and see the crass injustice and brutality all around. Nature doesn’t give a damn for your feelings, nor did it conspire to hurt you!

Be happy your way, with your means. It’s foolish to be unhappy trying to be happy in the ways of other people.
Some may despise you because you fail them; others because they envy you.
