What can we do for peace?

Question from the Internet:

“Are you willing to do whatever is necessary to live in peace and harmony with others?”

I am, although it is the most difficult thing in the world, as the “only” thing that is required from me to live in peace and harmony with others, the “only” thing that actually works is complete;y, fundamentally changing myself and the way I relate to others.

And changing myself — instead of changing, correcting, directly influencing, manipulating others or the world around me — is the last thing I want to do, or I want to agree to.

This is why, if I truly want to live in peace and harmony with others, first of all, I need to go through an unpleasant but honest self-exploration — in the right, purposeful environment.

There, while I examine, research myself through my relation to others I have to recognize my inherently selfish, egoistic, individualistic, and exploitative nature that constantly goes against peace and harmony, as it constantly drives me toward ruthless, exclusive competition, success at the expense of others.

Then, when I find my inherent nature intolerable instead of instinctively justifying myself, I can also learn through the purposeful, practical method how to build peaceful, mutually responsible, mutually complementing relationships, co-existence, cooperation with others above and against my inherent nature — without trying to directly suppress, change my inherent nature, only focusing on my connections with others.

If at least a few, mutually committed, mutually supportive, and mutually complementing people do collective efforts towards this in a closed environment, we can build true peace and true harmony with each other and show a positive example to others as well.
