Truisms

Life is not easy. We struggle, stumble, and we fall. We pick ourselves up and carry on, doing the best we can, wishing that we have someone to guide us, warn us of the pitfalls ahead, and how to handle the problems and difficulties that come our way. We wish we know what Life is all about, and what our struggles are for. When no answers are forthcoming, we struggle on, none the wiser.

What we don’t realise is that the answers we seek are already there. All we need to do is look in the right place. The sages, gurus, philosophers, and the wise men before us who had experienced and understood what life is all about, have recorded their knowledge in the form of Aphorisms and quotes. If we study the quotes, we will have gained precious lessons on Life.

Take an interest in aphorisms. Learn the wisdom and knowledge they impart, and you will have an understanding of Life.
