Can we change society through our personal beliefs and principles?

Question from the Internet:

“How will you use your beliefs and principles in bringing change in society and to your community?”

I do not think my beliefs and principles — or anybody else’s — can help us change society and our community.

After all, all our beliefs and principles are inherently subjective, self-serving and self-justifying. And the more we push our own beliefs and principles onto others — individually or certain groups collectively — the more harm we cause.

If we truly want to help and change society and our communities, we need laws and principles everybody agrees with and follows willingly, without coercion or misleading propaganda.

In order to find such laws and principles, we have to go beyond and above all the different arbitrary ideologies, philosophies, religions and methods humanity has ever invented through our inherently egocentric, subjective and exploitative nature and worldview.

Since we all exist within Nature — as integral parts of the fully integrated and interdependent system — we need to use Nature’s laws and principles as a blueprint for rebuilding human interconnections and the fabric of human society.

With the help of the right, purposeful and practical educational method, we can attract and guide people towards this, each joining after fully understanding and feeling that such rebuilding is for our own benefit. Then we will become successful.
