How can an individual improve humanity’s state?

Question from the Internet:

“What contribution can an individual make to the betterment of mankind?”

We are all born with an inherently self-centered, self-serving, subjective, and individualistic nature. Since we only see and care for our self-benefit, since we blindly overconsume and accumulate whatever we can for ourselves, we inevitably survive and succeed at the expense of others and Nature.

Knowingly or unknowingly, we all exist and behave like cancer in relation to others and Nature.

If we want to help the “betterment of mankind,” basically, if we want to survive in our globally integrated and fully interdependent world, we all need to learn how to become healthy cells in humanity’s single living organism; that is also an integral part of Nature’s fully and mutually integrated system.

Our Human advantage over the rest of Nature is that we have to learn and practice being healthy, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing cells consciously, above and against our inherent nature.

This will give us an unprecedented awareness and attainment of the whole Natural system, making us the system only conscious, integrated, and at the same time, independent observers and equal partners.
