Comfortably Dumb: Embracing Uncertainty

In Comfortably Dumb, John Rullo puts his storytelling pen to rest and embarks on a commentary-like venture in an attempt to bring to light the doubts, behaviors, opinions, thoughts, feelings, and questions, which through the centuries, have sparked man’s imagination and taunted his logical mind. In this light-hearted look at the mysteries of life, he embraces his uncertainty and agnosticism by maintaining a sense of humor while entertaining subjects prone to easily lead someone to the brink of insanity. With endless inquiries and reservations concerning life, death, religion, and various philosophies, the author surrenders to the fact, in this realm, there are no answers. Why do we live? Why do we die? Is there a God, a devil, a Heaven, a Hell? With all of its contradictions and discrepancies, does the Bible really hold any weight? Have we all lived past lives? Is Reincarnation plausible? Did fallen angels really copulate with humans? Is there intelligent life in other galaxies? Are ET’s living among us? Were humans designed to be vegetarians? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Why does money have such a stronghold on society? Why is there greed on a planet of such amazing abundance? Is time merely an illusion? Does God answer prayer? The confusion never ends, but according to this writer, it makes life fun and interesting. “If I can’t laugh and wonder aloud, I’ll simply go mad!” Comfortably Dumb will have you wondering, wincing, and smiling simultaneously. There is a liberating joy in seeking while at the same time being able to openly admit, “I don’t know!”
