Instead of snitching, we can learn how to love each other
Many people are lamenting how certain people are snitching on each other during the pandemic, reporting those who they think do not keep the “social distancing” to authorities.
This is a “natural phenomenon” due to our original, egocentric self-serving, self-justifying software, which drives us to be better, stronger, more respected, more accepted, higher than others.
We thrive for selfish rewards but what truly makes the reward, fulfillment great is if I obtained it at the expense of others.
There is a shocking expression that says, “I am happy if one of my eyes is poked out of my enemy has both of his eyes poked out”. Even if I lose but others lose more I am happy.
As we can observe at times of hardship, terror, oppressive regimes previous friends, neighbors or even family members report on each other, give each other up, hoping that by this they can buy their own survival. We saw a similar reaction from governments during this crisis and also from people hoarding resources, food, toilette paper to themselves way beyond their necessities, instinctively trying to survive at other’s expense.
The only way of overcoming this instinctive (neither evil nor sinful behavior, simply natural as we were born like this) way of life is learning through a unique, purposeful and practical educational method that those “others” are actually not “aliens” I need to compete against, succeed against. Those are the “other” cells of the single Human organism we are all part of. They are also part of “me”, my greater, all-encompassing me my original “self” is simply an individual cell off.
When we start to understand, moreover sense this as a result of the educational method providing realistic, tangible examples, emotional impressions, suddenly the notion of “loving others as ourselves” starts to make sense, gives us the lifeline.
Then “love of others” — which in truth loving my greater self — becomes the logical, only way of survival in a fully integrated, interdependent world where we have become 100% responsible for the well-being, the survival of each other — obligated by Nature’s “iron laws” governing balance and homeostasis.
