The crisis is a chance for rebirth

Question from the Internet:

Why are people so pessimistic about the future of humanity?

Because they see only the negative scenario unfolding in front of us, the unsolvable crisis, our desperate helplessness in solving global problems.

From the usual point of view of future prospects look very bleak. Instead of climbing out of the pandemic we are sinking ever deeper into it and the inevitable restrictions finish off the unsustainable socioeconomic system that was already in perpetual crisis before the virus.

America is sliding towards civil war and geopolitical conflicts are threatening with great wars, collisions.
So it is understandable why people are pessimistic in general.

We can feel optimistic only if we understand that what we are going through is necessary and purposeful.

A crisis is like a place, chance for birth. The present, all-encompassing crisis that seemingly threatens our existence is our chance to give birth to a completely new, global Human society that is built on very different foundations than our present one.

We can, need to learn from the present crisis that in the globally integrated, interdependent world we have evolved into we can’t solve problems, we can’t survive by continuing with our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, individualistic, nationalistic attitude, reactions, trying to succeed, survive at each other’s expense.

We also need to see that a Human system that is built on overconsumption has no right to exist in Nature that givens balance and homeostasis through very strict, unchanging laws.

After such a recognition we will be able to snap out of the previous, blind and instinctive egot development in order to consciously, methodically rebuild the presently collapsing civilization on new, this time Natural foundations, applying Nature’s template, blueprint, integral principles in Human society.
