Question from the Internet:

“Our destinies are now entangled. You must not let me consume you. You will need to change your ways. Your current conduct will be catastrophic. It’s not sustainable. Resources must be redirected to our preservation. Are you ready to change?”

I agree, this is the question!

The more important question from our own point of view - when asking this question from others - “am I ready to change?!”

After all many people recognized, and are openly saying that the problem with Humanity is greed, selfishness, always wanting more, succeeding, surviving at each other's expense.

Still, most people see this in others only, while they themselves honestly believe that they are all right, they never hurt others, they never cheated anyone, they even care for, help others.

Unfortunately we will never improve our state until we all recognize, that we are all born with the same, 100% self-serving, self-justifying nature and we can not make any calculations, decisions, actions unless we have self-benefit from it.

We are all programmed this way by Nature that “created” us, thus we are neither evil, nor sinners since we didn't have free choice about our inherent program driving us. And the all-powerful ego is very shrewd, it can always convince us that only the others need to change while I am all right as I am.

So it is extremely important that we all recognize what forces, desires, intentions truly drive us. And we have two ways to reach this recognition:

1.Waiting for extremely dramatic, life or death scenarios, conflicts that exert such suffering and pain that can turn us against even our loved ones in order to survive at their experience…

2.Or we can purposefully, methodically provoke and arrest the irrepressible ego working behind everything so we could start controlling, harnessing its infinite power for positive, constructive goals, purposes.

So regarding answering the original question: yes, I am ready to change and I have already started the unique, purposeful and highly practical method to provoke, recognize, arrest and finally harness, changes the inherent ego, the only engine in me.
