There's Another Way

The anxiety of the human condition, which Soren Kierkegaard prefers to call 'anguish', does not discriminate. And in our search for relief, we exploit our resources, exceed our limits, build our own towers of Babel, and try to defend our fragile personal (and national) borders. But despite so many efforts, the distressing human situation does not seem to improve.

Could it be that every religion in the world, similar to everything strictly secular or non-religious (including political, economic, educational, ideological, and philosophical theories), at the end of the day are only the 2 sides of the same coin of the insatiable and failed human effort to attain true peace and security? In the first (religion), by trying harder to be good. And in the second (secular or non-religious), by trying harder to be enough.

But it seems that trying harder is not working.

And so, surrounded by problems, injustices, and needs, not to mention the shame that we all try to hide, we live defensively, exploiting ourselves and each other, and hopelessly busy. What else can you expect from frightened people trying to save themselves?

But will there be another way of being human that neither religion nor non-religion knows anything about?

Dr. Gómez celebrates that in fact it is so, and in this, his first book, he invites us to rethink our whole life in the light of this surprising reality. Because if so, then we can learn to be truly human once again. The path that leads to life certainly could not have occurred to us.

And that's good news for everyone!
