That is book carries a powerful and timely theme. I am honored to write on an identified ill of society that is serious, but yet balanced and thought-provoking. The book does not attack any political party, profession, or group of people. It awakens people of diverse categories to the realities of balance and cordiality in the discharge of duties, responsibilities and assignments.
