Bipolar Sagacity

About the Book

This book underscores the profound bipolar spiritual, psychological, and social struggles a person of introspection will experiences as he or she travels throughout the adult life cycle stages. This life, both past and present, witnesses to the fact that many people of astute perceptual skills, religious faith, and intellectual knowledge live lives of great contradictions—those bipolar experiences  that challenge the very essence of their sanity. Yet in truth, the commentary in this book—whether ruminations, lamentations, exhortations, sayings or aphorisms—encapsulates what it means to be human as a cognizant and vibrant living adult, whether as celebrated through supplications, acknowledgements of thanks, discovered truths, or founded wisdom or despite all the human fallibilities and negative perceptions associated with powerful emotional states, such as confusion, fear, anger, jealousy, etc.
