We are very different from each other, and this is a good thing!

Question from the Internet:

If all humans were the same, would the world become a better place?

My answer:

No. If we have all became the same, like clones or zombies, there would be no development, life would become a dull and unenjoyable affair where most people would become depressed an committed suicide.

It is the differences, debates, arguments and competition between us that gives the flavor and enjoyment of life and the foundation for development.

Our problem is not the differences between us. Our problem is not the diversity, the conflicts, debates and arguments without which we could neve understand life and progress towards higher levels.

Our problem is how we experience and use our debates, argumenta and competition.

Our problem is that we all approach each other and everything that happens between us from an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, subjective and exploitative perspective, where we all want to succeed at the expense of others and want to raise ourselves above others by trampling on them.

This is why the world looks like as it does, billions of cancer cells trying to exploit and annihilate one another while consuming everything, including themselves.

If we learned and started to feel that we are all integral parts of the same natural system, like single cells of the same living organism, and started to exist and behave in a mutually responsible and mutually complementing way – like single cells of the same living organism – then instead of the wanton self-destruction we are pursuing today, we could create a qualitatively much higher mutual existence between us with a unique and unprecedented collective consciousness that would equal nature’s all-encompassing system.

In such a mutual existence, all our uniqueness and differences would complement and augment one another.

This is the next evolutionary state nature’s deterministic and purposeful development expects from us.
