Blurb:
Religion, philosophy, and science sometimes appear to contradict each other. The deeper reality is that these operate in tandem to provide a holistic appreciation of life. Natural disasters, as well as human failings, like war and border walls, create an emotional crisis individually and collectively. Humanity is going through one of these hysterical phases at the advent of the 21st century. We are experiencing terrorism, global conflict, climate change, economic meltdown, and breakdown of old liberal political order. The emergence of a COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to accelerating the crisis. Social distancing has isolated us in bubbles that seem to be on the verge of bursting. There are growing signs of the psychological, social, and emotional breakdown faced by the communities. These tough times invoke questions about the purpose of life, humanity, and our place in the universe. We need to reconnect with our soul and be comfortable with the nature of things. This book is an effort to help make sense of life and our place in it. Abdul Quayyum Khan Kundi is a politician, social, and community activist. He has authored three earlier books about political science with a focus on the role of religion in politics and community development. He has been a contributing columnist for some leading newspapers, including Independent Urdu, Pakistan Today, and Pakistan Times.
