    About this ebook

    "We love being mentally strong, but we hate situations that allow us to put our mental strength to good use."

     

    "Some of our problems came to us; some, we went to them."

    "Plants are more courageous than almost all human beings: an orange tree would rather die than produce lemons, whereas instead of dying the average person would rather be someone they are not."

    "When you are unhappy, happy people are disgusting."

    "An expensive coffin does not decrease the deceased's chances of going to hell."

    AND 300+ OTHER APHORISMS

     

    Mokokoma is a rare breed. Although most of his sentences leave one with the painful task of thinking, and many of them show or remind us that we human beings are not as smart and not as important to existence as we think we are, you are way more likely to come across, in a daytime, many readers who like him, than you are to come across, in your lifetime, a few writers who are like him.

     

    Mokokoma is a keen observer, an insightful and original thinker, and a wordsmith and a satirist of note. Many of his sentences are each way more intellectually rewarding than not a few collections of a thousand randomly selected books.

     

    As you are about to find out, if you haven't, Mokokoma Mokhonoana wrote many of the most profound, many of the most memorable, many of the most hilarious, and many of the most thought-provoking sentences that will ever be written.

      Beyond ‘Positive Thinking’: How A Philosophy Professor Sustains Hope

      Dec 6, 2022

      Defining what entails a meaningful life has preoccupied philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Simone de Beauvoir and Iris Murdoch. Surveying centuries of thoughtful chin-tugging about the human condition, Kieran Setiya identifies a broad trend: “a

      Ethical Dilemma

      Jul 30, 2018

      I left school in 1968 aged sixteen. No chance of sixth form, university or any higher education. It was manual labour and trying to provide for my family. But as writers know there is a little bug inside saying, ‘write’. In 2012 I enrolled in a creat
