Intuitive Reflections and Discourse on Life

Book Cover & Preview Text
This work is for all people of inquisitive mind and curious for knowledge; and for whom conventions, the every-day, and the “obvious” are no longer what they seem and claim to be. From my fellow Igbo of the ethnic group of South Eastern Nigeria, where Christianity successfully demagogued and displaced the traditional religion, to the rest of Nigeria and Africa where that is also the same; this work would captivate the reader. Beyond that region of the world to the United States where I have now spent about half of my life, and to elsewhere; this would be the case also, for the inquisitive mind.

About the Book
As long as the human race battles with an internal need to judge and discriminate against others, chances and opportunities will continue to favor and disfavor individuals and groups differently. Playing God shares a discourse for those with an inquisitive mind and those struggling to reconcile the puzzles in life with such relatable topics as nature, religion, morality, global politics, power, control, greed, and many others. Brown Ogwuma, a clinical social worker, has worked in the human services field for twenty years and appreciates philosophy and original thinking. He shares his practical glimpse at life that he hopes will encourage others to take a realistic approach to the way they live their own lives. In his reflections that stem from the complexities and convoluted nature of life, Ogwuma discusses concrete and actual situations—both his own as well as those of other people—in order to explore and advocate ideas and principles beyond the ordinary. In its no-nonsense study of the authenticity of life, Playing God lets others know that seeing life in an unconventional way can free us to structure our lives so that the meaningful takes precedence over what others expect of us.
