That is the greatest threat to the world?

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think is the biggest threat to the international order/system today?”

Seemingly there are certain people, certain nations or religions that are the biggest threat to the international order/system. And of course, we all have our own subjective viewpoints, and opinions about who those “evil ones” are.

And from our own viewpoint, we all try to get rid of those who we think are the problems in the world, while ‘we”, from our own point of view are the good, decent ones who could have a fantastic world without the evil ones.

But in truth, we are all “evil”, as we are all driven by our inherently selfish, egoistic, exploitative nature and knowingly, unknowingly we all want to succeed at the expense of others, we all want to be in control of others for our own sake. We all view the world through a completely subjective, egocentric viewpoint and constantly blame others for everything that happens.

If we want to eliminate the threats against the world, we all need to start correcting, changing and developing ourselves. We all need to learn how to build Nature-like, positive, mutually responsible and mutually complementing connections, cooperation above and against our inherent nature.

At least a small but critical minority needs to start this self-changing, self-developing process according to Nature’s integral template and then later they will be able to pull the rest of humanity behind them towards a safer, better future.

But if we all remain instinctively as we are, we have no chance to survive.
