We need to recognize the root cause of our problems in ourselves!

Question from the Internet:

“What are the questions we should be asking of the world and, more importantly, of ourselves? “

We have to ask the question we really do not want to ask.

What is the reason, the root cause behind humanity’s recurring, historical problems? What is the reason we keep on stumbling from crisis to crisis in our generation? Why is it that whatever ideology, governing, economic or social system we use, we always find ourselves at a dead-end, and our civilization erupts before it collapses? Why can’t we fix any of our mounting problems right now?

We do not want to ask these questions because we already suspect the answer, and we do not like it; we do not want to hear the diagnosis. We do not want to know because then the remedy is something that is the most difficult and most hated for us.

We do not want to accept the truth that it is the inherently selfish, egotistic, subjective and exploitative nature that drives all of us behind all the problems humanity has ever encountered.

And it is not certain people or groups of people, it is not certain nations, cultures or religions, but it is all of us. And unless we all recognize the root cause in ourselves and are willing to change ourselves, nothing will change. And then we will just blindly continue sleepwalking towards self-destruction.
