For those who have many questions in life, this book may help you find the answers.  1. What is knowledge? - It isn't the absolute truth about life and death, but the things that helps us to live and confront the challenges of day-to-day life. It isn't what we learn from books, which serves only to fuel futile arguments about what happened or will happen; it is the knowledge that lives in the hearts of men and women of good will. 2.
