How can we prevent future wars?

Question from the Internet:

“How can we prevent future wars in humanity?”

All our historical and contemporary problems, conflicts, and wars — in the family, between people, in the country, and between countries — are the result of our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and exploitative nature.

It is this inherent nature that drives us to excessively overconsume everything to ruthlessly compete with others and nature, and succeed at everybody else’s expense.

There is nothing else causing problems in the world; there is nothing else that needs changing and correcting but our inherent nature, which each of us has to correct for ourselves.

There will be no more wars in the world when we redirect the external conflicts and wars inside us, and we start a difficult and long “inner war” against our own nature with the aim to acquire the ability to selflessly and unconditionally feel, support and serve others, while we completely forget about ourselves.

This is, of course, extremely hard, near impossible. Still, we have no other option if we want to survive. And we cannot survive on our own; no nation can survive at the expense of others. In this globally integrated and fully interdependent world, we either survive together, or we all perish.

Fortunately, there is a unique, purposeful, and practical method that can teach us and help us implement how to change and further develop ourselves in a way that humanity will resemble nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system that can create and nurture life.

Then, the inherently cancer-like and self-destructive humans will also create and nurture life; moreover, we will do it fully, consciously, and purposefully.

Learning and implementing this truly and uniquely Human ability is our only purpose in life. Nothing else matters, and everything else will fade away.
