Is life a random walk? Are we on earth for the fun of it? Just to work, eat, drink, live, and die? Is there a purpose to the events of life and the diversity of the world – race, culture, politics, society, etc.? We have different experiences of love, hatred, peace, war, relationships, poverty, wealth, oppression, freedom, discrimination, favoritism, etc. Are these to be dismissed as pointless and accidental, or are they destined to teach us about ourselves and about life towards God realization? Whether we can answer the preceding questions or not, one fact remains certain - we are all performers on this stage called life? So, what is our purpose and what role do we play?
Why Are We Here? breaks the above questions down into 25 exploring topics using down-to-earth short stories and parables that are practical yet very peculiar to each topic. Practical essays that inspire the reader to personally reconcile or question the issues raised by the topic further discuss each topic or story. Additionally, each topic is separately expressed in poetic language for reflections and further enquiry within.
No synopsis would do this book the required justice. The taste of the pudding will always be known in the eating.
