When the World Lost Its Compass
Have you ever felt the ground shift beneath your feet-not physically, but in your understanding of what matters? On November 1, 1755, the earth literally moved in Lisbon. Within minutes, 40,000 people were dead. Churches collapsed during All Saints' Day mass. Across Europe, people struggled with a haunting question: if this is God's plan, what kind of God are we dealing with? A six-year-old boy named Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, hundreds of miles away in Frankfurt, heard adults whispering in confusion and fear. Their certainty had cracked. This wasn't the first time humanity faced such questions. For seven centuries, a particular group of thinkers had been wrestling with what it means to be human without relying on divine blueprints. They called themselves humanists. Their journey-from plague-ravaged Italy to the salons of Paris, from the horrors of slavery to the trenches of two world wars-reveals something profound about our capacity to create meaning in an uncertain universe.
