Living in a time of absolute mutual responsibility

Question from the Internet:

“Why is the responsibility for the environment collective and not individual?”

As we are gradually recognizing and accepting, we exist in a fully integrated and interdependent world.

In effect, we are all but individual cells in a living human organism that is also an integral part of Nature’s fully integrated and interdependent system.

Thus we all have absolute individual and collective responsibility towards each other and toward Nature’s system.

This is against our usual instinctive, egocentric, and subjective viewpoint. By default, we see and sense only what is important for us, what can take us closer to selfish pleasures, and what can distance us from personal pain and suffering.

This is why we need a unique, purposeful, and highly practical educational method. Such a method can help us understand, moreover, help us viscerally feel our total interdependence and our collective dependence on Nature. Only then can we develop the necessary individual and collective responsibility and sharp emotional impressions that can help us change our behavior and outlook on life and others.

We have to practice and learn this through our mutual relationship with each other, and only then will we be able to correctly relate to the rest of the Natural system.
