I am an individual cell in the body of Humanity

Question from the Internet:

“What does humanity mean to you, everything, something, or nothing?”

Humanity is everything to me.

We are slowly recognizing that we live in a globally interconnected and interdependent world. What we haven’t recognized yet, and we definitely haven’t felt yet, is that, in effect, we are all but individual cells of the same, mutually integrated, living human organism.

Whether we like it or not, whether we agree to it or not, our individual health, success and survival are intricately and irrevocably intertwined with the health, success and survival of the whole human network that is also an integral part of Nature’s mutually integrated system.

Thus humanity is everything to me since, without being a healthy and mutually integrated cell in humanity’s body, I am just a single, disconnected cell that has no vitality and right to exist.

We do not know, and we do not feel this by default. Inherently, we all sense ourselves as isolated, independent individuals who have to succeed and survive at the expense of others in a hostile world.

And as a result, our human society — the more “developed” it becomes, the more self-destructive it is.

This is why we urgently need a special, purposeful, and practical educational method that can help us not only fully understand but actually and viscerally feel how interdependent we are and how much everything depends on our seamless integration with each other.
