Can we avoid repeating history’s recurring vicious cycles?!
Question from the Internet:
“Is ignoring history doomed to repeat it?”
We are not ignoring history, we simply cannot do anything in order to repeat the helplessly recurring vicious cycles.
We are like addicts, we know that our addiction is wrong, we know that it will lead to pour death, but we cannot stop acting instinctively, succumbing to our addiction.
We are born with an addictive, inherently self-serving, self-justifying, exploitative individualistic desire for “more”, we want to consume everything only for ourselves regardless of the consequences, even when we know that we will self-destruct like cancer.
Thus everything we do is based on ruthless, exclusive competition, success and survival at the expense of others and Nature.
We see what happened in history, we know exactly all the mistakes, crimes we committed individually and collectively., Still, when we find ourselves in the same conditions, we fall into the same traps and commit the same, destructive, self-destructive actions as before.
We just survived a World War with terrible devastation 80 years ago and now we are basically already in World War 3 which can turn actual and nuclear at any moment. We are all waiting for the fake or real claims of either side in the Ukrainian conflict accusing the other side of using “WMD”, in order to justify other nations — especially NATO — to jump in and expand the war all across the globe.
This is a script written by our own selfish, exploitative, self-justifying egos and unless we recognize who, what is driving us and we are ready to change ourselves — instead of changing, correcting, censoring and destroying others — the nuclear World War is inevitable.
The only way of changing history and starting a conscious, positive development from this generation onwards is to change, overcome the only reason for the destruction: our own inherent nature and instincts.
