Bricks of Truth

"With few muscles to flex, I have had a wealth of time to flex my mind."With this observation, Kenneth Rotar introduces his collection of 1000 aphorisms. In 1965, when he was nine months old, doctors diagnosed him with spinal muscular atrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy. Though it was unlikely that he would survive past his teen years, he has lived a full life with many roles (e.g., poster child, college honors graduate, corporate accountant, political activist, writer, and husband). He has steadily lost nearly all of his muscles and can now barely move his limbs or digits; nonetheless, he completed this book of philosophy at the age of 46. In it, he unabashedly shares his unique perspective on diverse topics such as morality, religion, politics, education, social issues, and life.
