How do people relate to each other, and how should we relate to each other?

Question from the Internet:

“How do people relate to each other?”

By default, as a result of our inherently egocentric, subjective, exploitative nature, we all relate to others in a negative, harmful, destructive way — as we can observe in human societies both historically and today.

This is not a sin, we are not evil. nature’s evolution created human beings with this fiercely and proudly individualistic, competitive nature. We constantly compare to others, we define our own self-esteem according to our status in society, so we all thrive to be greater, stronger, wealthier, more powerful than others.

Humans are the only beings in Nature that go against the finely balanced mutual integration which is the basis of the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

On the other hand, human beings are the only creatures that can consciously,, methodically, proactively learn how to integrate with each other and by that with Nature above and against their inherent nature.

By building Nature-like mutual interconnections, mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation above our differences, and everything that separates, rejects people from each other, we can develop a unique duality between our inherent and acquired nature, behavior.

And this duality prepares, enables us to fulfill our unique, predetermined, evolutionary Human role in Nature: to become the system’s only conscious, fully aware, integrated but at the same time independent, objective observers and partners.
