May seem Valid even today to many! Does it matter whether true or false Marcus Tullius Cicero of the Roman Empire is attributed to have written this appended about the situation during his life time (106 BC-43 B.C., but said to be valid even today). Could it be true? I do not think so. What about you? Do you believe that Cicero had really written it? It does not matter whether Cicero had written them or not, they may seem valid to many now! The list, reproduced here under will show us “how all the various classes of society exploit each other from the top down — with politicians living happily at the pinnacle!” 1. The poor work & work. 2. The rich, exploit the poor. 3. The soldier, protects both. 4. The taxpayer, pays for all the three. 5. The wanderer, rests for all the four. 6. The drunk, drinks for all the five. 7. The banker, robs all the six. 8. The lawyer, misleads all the seven. 9. The doctor, kills all the eight. 10. The undertaker buries all the nine. 11. The politician lives happily on account of all the ten . Perhaps, we all know that Marcus Tullius Cicero, is the person who Gave Natural Law to the Modern World           |

Cicero had some wise sayings attributed to him, but I'm not sure this list is one of them. However, it is somewhat true, and humorous at the same time. Have a great week, Look. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

CarolynVII, Glad to see you back after a considerable time. Many of us really missed you, Carolyn. Hope you are keeping well by His grace. While agreeing with what you have stated about earlier generations, I would like to mention about the sad end of this great man who was an orator, a brilliant lawyer, and a Writer of the Roman Republic. He was eventually murdered on the order of his political opponents, namely, Mark Antony, Pompey and Octavian. Thanks again for stopping by and for your kind comments that will inspire me as before to be more creative. Stay well and cheerful always, my friend. .

Thanks Mary Ann for welcoming me back here...Though, I was here all the time, my blogs did not show up in the blogs list for reason best known to the site authorities., Our common friend, Shartaun saw my predicament while visiting my posts and suggested me to do something to solve the problem. I followed her advice and the result is this blog that showed up in the list soon after it was posted by me. Hope you are doing fine. Take care and stay happy.

I almost refuse to get rid of a book. We have them stacked everywhere and keep adding more to the collection. I have some which are so good I have read them several times. Fossil

I am not really for those type of sayings, cause one can never be sure if that writer had truly written it or not. But whoever believes in them, ok. Besides, all these actions have been on and on since ago millenniums and they will continue also. Humans always use and abuse each other that's how the world goes about, with the exception of just a few reasonable ones. This is my personal opinion, Look.
