    I Threw It All Away


    Common Sense, Paine
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Sense

    Common Sense is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776 advocating independence from Great Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies. Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776 at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

    I don’t know why there is a reference to Thomas Paine under the title “I threw it all away”. If your life is spiraling, that has nothing to do with the republic.

    Are you a citizen of the USA?
    If you are
    and If that's what you take from the juxtaposition of those two items,
    it speaks more to you than I, my friend.

    Common Sense[1] is a 47-page pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776
    advocating independence from Britain to people in the Thirteen Colonies.

    Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Paine marshaled moral and political
    arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government.

    It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776,[2] at the beginning of the
    American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

    It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places.

    In proportion to the population of the colonies at that time (2.5 million), it had the
    largest sale and circulation of any book published in American history.[3]

    As of 2006, it remains the all-time best-selling American title and is still in print today.[4]
