Ace Apolonio

Silent Contemplations Ace Apolonio

This book is about you and I. We are becoming a fast-paced society with not enough time to learn from observing the world. Is there a way to learn wisdom and experience wholeness without actually experiencing failure and the accompanying pain? This is what this book is all about. It is a collection of thoughts molded in an essay format describing the intricacies and dynamics of human connection, and essentially, of human life. Each essay provides unpopular opinion or realizations in life that not many people are ready to think about. It combines the nature of a self-help book and a memoir as it does speak my personal experiences-from losing my best friend to winning a scholarship abroad. This book will not teach you anything new. You already know most of what's inside of it but you have never really thought about them in detail. That's where I come in; to rescue you from the prancing waves of this fast-paced world. Each essay will bring you somewhere else in some other time. You will be temporarily relieved of your pain and you will see from someone else's eyes. After reading this book, you will have realized a few but important things: you will realize that life is simple and that you have the power to change it. And I hope by the time you close this book, it leaves a smile in your face and that you are ready to face the world again.
