Preventing the next World War

The next world war — not only the even presently ongoing “proxy-wars” on neutral grounds, playing with other nations — where world powers threaten, attack each other, each other’s lands, is already in the making.

Human history is a seemingly helplessly recurring chain of vicious cycles.

Our own present Human society is progressing on a parallel line to the 1920s-1940s with its reckless, unsustainable economic-financial system, societies breaking apart due to absurd inequality and racism, hatred against foreigners, military buildup and trade wars, Cold War rhetoric, previous alliances, treaties, unions falling apart.

And each time in history when leaders lost control over their own nations and had nothing else to offer they chose war.

There is one difference. Especially the virus stopping us on our instinctive, blind track, we received an opportunity to rethink our lives, the direction we are heading, why Humanity has been repeating the same mistakes, crimes, what are the principles, laws of the Natural system we live in.

And finally, but most importantly we can finally detect the real reason for all Humanity’s past and present problems.

Today we know that it is the inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, individualistic, and exploitative nature that drives all of us that is the root cause.

Still, it is not easy to accept that we all need to change, and then changing ourselves is even more difficult. Our inherent ego, self-esteem, self-justification is extremely strong and shrewd, it will hide from us the danger of a nuclear world war until the very end.

This is why it is extremely important that those who are a bit more sensitive — and can see where we are heading with our instinctive nature — who are also ready to start changing themselves and build new, mutually supportive, mutually complementing environments as beacons of hope, positive example for others, do so.

They will need to use a unique, purposeful and practical educational method in order to learn how to build mutually responsible and mutually complementing interconnections, cooperation above and against their inherent distrust, animosity, above all their differences.

Then they will become the small, but strong rescue boats for the global Titanic that is sinking fast.
