How can we balance ourselves with Nature?

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think about having an obligation to cut back on your pollution even though, in the grand scheme of things, your actions as a single individual won’t make any difference?”

I will start from the end.

While most of the time, it seems that our individual actions are insignificant and achieve nothing, we must not forget the power of positive examples and motivation. Moreover, suppose we understand and start to feel how much we are all mutually integrated band how much we are interdependent. Any action we do immediately and inevitably influences the whole system. In that case, any positive action can initiate a positive effect and reverberation within the system that can cause positive changes everywhere.

Our problem is that even if we decide to do some positive actions, we decide to reduce our pollution and consumption, our decisions and the measurements of how much is too much and what is acceptable or not are arbitrary and groundless.

As long as we do not intimately feel Nature’s system from within, as long as we do not seamlessly integrate into the system to sense it and understand it and its cause-and-effect processes from within, we are only causing harm with all of our actions.

At this stage, we have no idea about who we truly are or what actual desires, needs, and intentions truly drive us. We do not understand why and how much we are incompatible with Nature’s system and its laws, and as a result, we have no idea what we need to do to stop harming the system and ourselves and how to restore balance.

So before we start acting, before we decide how and how much to change our consumption and pollution in order to settle into the optimal parameters of true natural necessities and actually available resources, we need a unique educational method that can help us recognize and change ourselves so we can adapt to Nature which system we also need to study and attain.

Finally, while individual actions can already initiate very important and positive changes — as long as they are based on Nature’s laws and the general balance of the system, in order to make true changes, at least a critical minority of people would need to prepare and change themselves and achieve compatibility and integration with nature’s system.
