Human beings build human society

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think are the factors that contribute to the formation of a new society?”

Human beings build human society. Thus it is the values, goals, intentions human beings — who are building a society — possess that determine society.

By default, our values, goals, intentions are inherently egocentric, subjective, self-justifying and we thrive at succeeding at each other’s expense, and these tendencies have constantly grown, intensified through history.

As a result, we have been stumbling through helplessly recurring, vicious historic cycles due to the self-destructive nature of our societies, and our own, p[resent civilization is crumbling as we speak.

Only when we willingly, consciously, and purposefully start changing ourselves, adopting new values, aspirations, goals, and intentions can we hope to start building different human societies, that will become safer, more peaceful, more successful, and sustainable — as we will build them in accordance with Nature’s strict, unchanging and unforgiving laws that govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

No political machinations, different economic or social systems can help us as long as we remain as we were born. Our human uniqueness is our ability and obligation to recognize our inherently destructive, unviable nature, inner program and to set out to change it, change ourselves — each changing, upgrading oneself — by our own volition and effort.
