Is it good to be an outsider?

Question from the Internet:

“Is being an outsider positive or negative?”

It depends on the state and context we are talking about.

Within humanity, we can’t really be outsiders. We have evolved into a globally integrated and fully interdependent system where we are all tied together into s single network where even for our necessities, we depend on others, basically everybody else. Thus regardless of what we think about each other and what our instincts dictate, we have to become consciously and mutually integrated, developing absolute mutual responsibility towards each other and the whole system.

But regarding humanity in relation to Nature’s system, we are “outsiders”. Our inherently selfish, egocentric, subjective qualities make us incompatible with and disconnected from Nature. But this “outsider” status has a very important evolutionary purpose.

Without it, we would not any free choice, and we would not be able to consciously and proactively reach mutual integration with each other and, through it, with Nature.

This conscious adaptation to Nature above and against our inherently opposite, “unnatural”, egocentric and individualistic state will make us “truly Human beings”. This means we will become similar to Nature through our own efforts above our instincts.
