The Curses of a Thousand Mothers: How We Pursue Joyful Sins

By Thejendra Sreenivas

Revised 2022 Edition - A dictionary defines sin as any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle. But most modern people who are not religious think that they are sin-free. They assume that by paying their taxes, following laws, not killing or injuring anyone, and giving the best to their family, they automatically become sin free. Or they argue that it is the 21st century and laugh at sins as just superstitious garbage and nonsense believed only by spiritual lunatics who have lost the plot. You could also be one such person. But are you really sin-free? Do you think that just following the law and giving the best to your family makes you sin-free? This concise book shows how you are knowingly or unknowingly committing various sins by doing or not doing something. Can’t believe it? Just flip the pages to know how.

Acknowledgments

My first thanks go to Toni Morrison, a famous American author, and recipient of countless awards including the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, who first planted the incredible seeds of writing a book in my head. Even though I have never met her it was her amazing quote, "If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it," that inspired and motivated me to write articles and books nearly two decades ago.

My second thanks go to my family members, friends, neighbors, and relatives for helping me accomplish this literary feat by completely forgetting or ignoring me on countless weekends while I was pounding on my keyboard with wild ideas setting my head on fire.

My third thanks go to the various bits and pieces of enlightenment gained from dealing with countless people over the years, opening all the mental taps, personal and witnessed experiences, pleasant and nasty encounters, rational and irrational thoughts in solitude, wake-up calls, famous quotes, and most importantly those bizarre ideas being mysteriously pumped into my brain by a naughty higher power. So, a lot of earthly and cosmic folks have directly or indirectly contributed to the flow of thoughts presented in this and all my other books.

About the Series

The Executive Personal Development Series is a set of short non-fiction books on business management, leadership, inspirational, motivational, and self-improvement topics. Each book is an imaginary discussion between a retired professor who thinks unconventionally and a corporate executive who thinks like the crowd. This is a unique professor who thinks, "What is popular may not be right, and what is right may not be popular."

Most self-help books are normally written in a textbook or step-by-step guide formats. But these books are written like a novel in a conversational style with interactive lectures, candid arguments, and idle talk between the two who belong to different generations. Each book discusses some self-improvement concept or an aspect of the executive’s personal or professional life and the professor enlightens, alters, or completely demolishes the executive’s earlier thinking and assumptions.

Reviews for The Curses of a Thousand Mothers

[ckhillman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a well written book that had me thinking on the wants and needs of me and my family and how our decisions to persue those things effects others. This is one I would recommend to all consumers for a reality check on what our buying habit effect in the world.

Short and fun to read. A quick look at the philosphy of committing sin and what we now do or do not consider one. Smatlry written and makes you think. Great Job!

[ravenaier · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Basically this book is how we all encourage sin to occur because we’re all invested in this high technology, fast paced world that allows things such as sweatshops and slave mining to occur so that we can continue getting the next big thing.I don’t agree with the author’s point of view. For example, his point of view is that because I buy an IPad (and a million and one other people), I am encouraging the manufacturer to find more cost effective ways to mass produce IPads, which may include sweatshops. I disagree with this. The basics behind any economy is supply versus demand. However, I do not go to the CEO of Apple and put a gun to his/her head demanding that they use sweatshops to produce the product. That is a morality issue that falls square on his/her shoulders. Let’s take another look at that idea. Say I work 40 hours a week, and I work efficiently. I don’t do anything strange to doctor the results of my work, I simply work efficiently. My boss sees me work efficiently, and sees that I can do the work of myself and a part-time worker, so he decides to fire the part-time worker. Is it my fault that the part-time worker lost his job? Should I work less efficiently to make sure that all my co-workers keep their jobs?As one person told me once, “I am not responsible for another person’s actions.”Most of you who read my previous review of another of the author’s books remember the scathing I gave because of the price. Well, this book is 10 pages long on Adobe Reader. The ebook is sold on Amazon for $0.99. If you’re willing to pay that for 10 pages, I don’t consider that to be too bad a price. However, the paperback, which is listed at 28 pages, is sold for $4.75.I think I’d rather spend it on a extra large frappaccino from Starbucks who may or may not be employing sweatshops in their production of their cups.
