Away from the Madding World
A Thoughtful Analysis of the Causes of Human Woes, and Remedial Suggestions
AWAY from the MADDING WORLD focuses on the concepts that nothing else is even close to love and respect for self and our fellow humans, and reverence for the sacred, to conquer our setbacks and make life meaningful. Through the many points charted in the book author Kuriakose T. Chacko proves by a concrete, analytical approach that we cannot earn favor from man or God with selfishness, anger, or violence, no matter how hard we try.
People respect or despise us not simply because of our views or looks; the primary raison d’etre is our attitude. Attitude shapes relationships. Every relationship—spousal, parent-child, familial, communal, business, international—is rooted in attitudes. The character and attitude of humans making contacts, and conducting transactions, play pivotal roles in shaping the outcomes of those contacts and transactions. If one is impertinent in nature, that characteristic is mirrored in one’s behavior.
Without honoring and helping other people, which are unrealistic efforts without nurturing our worldly and spiritual connections, we cannot overcome our fear of other people and ourselves, and our hearts remain clogged. As a result, happiness cannot enter our hearts.
