Truths and Heresies: Reflections on Society and Life

We have all formed opinions about the society in which we live-opinions about family, work, the sexes, power, love, money, technology, government, religion, education, crime, addictions, the arts, entertainment, consumption, advertising, emotions, greed, happiness, leaders, conformity, wisdom, time, friendships, and many other things. The ideas here have been written in the form of aphorisms-short pithy sentences that express a truth, sentiment or opinion. While the content and tone of these aphorisms relate to the broader issues of Western society, many others have a more defined niche. Still others address the lighter side of society and human nature.
