What do we need to fix in the world?

Question from the Internet:

“If you could fix one world problem, what would you fix?”

I think the healthiest approach is starting with the notion that there is only one thing that needs to be changed in the world, and it is me (from each person’s point of view).

We need to constantly ask, recognize, what can I change in myself, more precisely in my relation to the world, so it would become better as a result?

Our inherent, instinctive reaction to everything is automatic, guaranteed self-justification and searching for, finding blame in others. When we look at any ideology, activism, movement in the world it is always about changing others, correcting, blaming, reprimanding others. And we can also see how “successful” we are with changes that are built on this attitude.

Changing ourselves for the “better” — and of course, here there is a big question about what this “better” means — has many advantages.

First of all, our inherent perception of reality, our inherent consciousness is 100% self-focused, subjective and egocentric. Thus we do not actually see others or the world around us, we see a version of reality we filter and distort according to our subjective, egocentric, exploitative worldview.

If we could change our outlook, worldview from selfish and subjective to selfless and objective, we would immediately start seeing a different world with different people in it.

Moreover, as soon as I started changing my outlook and my relation to everything outside of me, my positive influence starts to affect everything around me, changing it for the “better”.

What is this “better”?

It is not something we decide by our arbitrary, illusory human norms, moral and ethical codes, or the standards political ideologies, philosophies, and religions give us. We need to identify ourselves with Nature’s finely balanced, integral system and try to be our most optimal best accordingly, so we could fulfill our perfect role in society and in Nature just like each and every healthy part, element of Nature.

Then we would definitely change the world for the better as partners with Nature’s single force that creates and sustains life.
