What are they? And how can you avoid them?
I must thank you for your comment "It can be both a blessing and curse to have such an active, intelligent readership."

The beauty of an online community!!

What commentary on the state of man in the 21st century. Truely the Ecclesiastes had it right, "There is nothing new under the sun". The Six Mistakes of Man ring true throughout history and never more than in today's world.

Great read. Wondering about the term “Indian” and how that word got used in the translation.
