The beauty of Aphorisms is that they are usually fairly simple in words and meaning. However, behind the simple words, and sentences are profound truisms. Unfortunately, it is easy to read the words without really understanding the more profound meaning they convey, missing the point of these ageless aphorisms. To read and understand aphorisms is not enough, we must also be able to draw parallels and apply them to our life situations. That’s where the usefulness of aphorisms lie; that’s where we find the profound lessons of aphorisms.
