The 40 short essays in Why Not Me? show how to live a fulfilling, meaningful life in a universe that wasn't designed to ensure human happiness. A common response to tragedy is, "Why me?" Ironically, those who grasp the inevitability of unfairness and misfortune often experience more gratitude and happiness for the many good things that do come their way.
In clear, accessible words, Donald Wheat unfolds his humanist philosophy. The essays provide psychological, political, ecological and comedic insights, drawing on the author's own experiences and from scores of celebrated and obscure visionaries. The essays cover these themes:
· Life's Unfair;
· The Saints;
· Bear Others' Burdens;
· Enjoy Life; and
· Humanism.
The best revenge for an often-unfair life is to live courageously, nurturing others and promoting justice. "If no one is looking after us," Wheat concludes, "then we must look after each other. We have resolved to be more just and more loving than what has been given to us. This is man's greatness. And it is enough."
