Can the world fix itself?
Question from the Internet:
“Do you think the world will fix itself before it is too late?”
How could the world “fix itself”?
The world is a collection of human beings. It is the actions and intentions of human beings that determine what happens to the world.
Moreover, the whole point of our historical and contemporary problems is to awaken human beings. to make us examine our actions and intentions, to find our own inherent nature behind all the problems, and to make the necessary adjustments.
This is where our truly Human free choice is found.
As long as we wait for the world to fix itself, as long as we wait for “leaders”, “experts” or “influencers” or “priests” or a “God” to fix the world while we passively wait and just continue with our blind and instinctive existence, nothing will change.
It might be that we can’t fully fix the world by fixing ourselves; it might be that we need to find ways of harnessing different forces and processes in Nature’s evolutionary system to help us change and further develop ourselves. But even to get to that point of realizing that we need unique forces that can change us, we already need to examine ourselves and try to fix whatever we can fix.
Only when we have already tried everything through our own efforts and through our mutual cooperation can we precisely know where we need Nature’s evolutionary forces to assist and augment us.
The world cannot fix itself automatically. We need to consciously, willingly, and methodically change and fix ourselves, so the world becomes fixed.
