At the crossroads of dangerous or harmonious coexistence

Question from the Internet:

“Is the world entering a phase of dangerous coexistence?”

As we all reveal, we have evolved into a globally integrated and interdependent world.

And we also started to understand that there is nothing we can do about this since becoming a global and interdependent world has not been through some human activity — we evolved into this state driven by Nature’s laws and evolution’s deterministic progress.

After all, humanity — as Nature’s integral part, one of the species in Nature — cannot act or exist differently from the rest of the finely balanced and mutually integrated system. Thus we can think and philosophize wherever we want, we can try to ignore it or fight it, but in the end, there is nothing we can do with the fact that we exist in a fully integrated and interdependent system.

So now, we have to study and practice this inevitable global coexistence.

As the question says, we are experiencing this inevitable global coexistence as something unpleasant and dangerous. It is so because we approach this state — like everything else — through our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, subjective viewpoints and calculations. And this inherent standpoint and attitude make us behave and exist like cancer in this global and integral system.

As described above, since our global and integral state is determined by the strict and unforgiving laws of Nature and by evolutions progress, we can’t change the state itself. But we can learn how to change ourselves.

We can learn how to willingly and consciously adapt and further develop ourselves until humanity, the whole, global human society, becomes similar and reintegrated into Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated network.

This conscious, willing and purposeful self-change and self-development is our only free choice in life. If we do not make the necessary, practical steps towards this self-adaptation to Nature, then worsening crisis, constant blows, and intolerable suffering will “cook” us and pressure us until we start the necessary and inevitable self-changes anyway.

We have the wisdom and the ability to make the right choice and avoid unnecessary suffering.
