How can we unite above individual, national identity?

Question from the Internet:

“Patriotism is a form of tribalism, which is human nature, but it can be overridden by the other aspects of human nature. Do you agree or disagree?”

As the statement said, “patriotism”, the proud individual and national identity is part of our human nature. Our human nature is inherently egocentric, subjective, fiercely protective of the “self” — which self has different identification depending on many factors.

And I agree that in the globally integrated, fully interdependent world we evolved into — in Nature’s fully integrated, lawful system — our egocentric, subjective individualistic and nationalistic nature prevents effective, sustainable global unity, mutually complementing cooperation in our continuing, collective existence depends on.

But we also know that we cannot forcefully suppress, erase anything in our nature as then we just create even stronger rebound effects. And we cannot override, control our own nature with the same nature.

This is why we need to gradually, methodically learn how to harness Nature’s governing, evolutionary forces — all working for the sake of finely balanced mutual integration life depends on — to neutralize, complement our inherently “unnatural”, cancer-like tendencies.

We can do this so effectively that even all the things that presently separate us, cause conflicts and wars can contribute to the dynamically united, balanced whole, to Humanity’s multi-colored, multi-layered living mosaic, which will be the foundation of a qualitatively much higher, collective Human existence.

This will unfold exactly how the myriads of diverse, seemingly incompatible, extremely different parts, cells, and organs of our biological body create a living organism and a higher consciousness we feel.
