In order to defeat our problems, we need to know the root cause

Question from the Internet:

“Will problems ever be defeated from this Earth?”

We can solve all our present problems and we can prevent new ones the moment we identify the single root cause and we are willing to accept and change it.

The single root cause for all the historic and present-day problems humanity is suffering from is our total incompatibility with Nature’s fully integrated, interdependent system, with the laws of Nature that sustain the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

With our inherently selfish, egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative views, calculations, behavior we are like cancer in the body. We thrive on excessive overconsumption, ruthless competition, we succeed at each other’s expense regardless of the consequences, we cannot live, behave in any other way.

Fortunately, we also have a unique Human intellect, that is capable of critical self-assessment, capable of recognizing our self-destructive instincts, and capable of initiating unique self-changes, self-upgrade with the help of Nature’s forces, evolutionary flow.

In our generation, we reached the absolute necessity to start this honest self-criticism and as a result to start consciously, proactively, methodically changing ourselves before intolerable suffering will force us to wake up.
