World We Reject: But We Still Suffer

By Robert Harris, Johnny Allen, William O'Toole, et al.

Book Overview

There is a way of life humanity abandoned long ago, but we can still blend it with the way we live today to overcome suffering. In this book, the author looks back at growing up in Liberia, including the influence Americans played during his boyhood. They taught and preached human rights every day and exported their culture into every corner of Africa, including their ways of dressing, celebrating, eating, and even making love. He recalls how his father was assassinated, how his eldest brother moved to America, and how he and his siblings dreamed of one day following in his footsteps. That dream gave them the strength to stick together. He also shares observations on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has plunged the Western world into crises. He wonders whether there will ever be peace and financial equality. He concludes that the cause of most wars boils down to jealousy and envy.
