I have given this book the same title I had for a Reflection I wrote in 2016 and called: IN THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.

They were put on paper to test my opinions about Life Values and Attitudes. After each Reflection, which covers from two to five pages, I have, except in a few with more, inserted four Food for Though
