What governs our world, our ego or true love?

Question from the Internet:

“How is the world governed?”

The world, human beings are governed by the inherently, ruthlessly selfish, exploitative ego that drives all of us. This is the root cause behind the helplessly recurring vicious historic cycles and behind the perpetual crisis situations our own generation experiences.

We are all — regardless of being the seemingly controlling 1% or the manipulated 99% — under the total control of our egos. This is why can’t understand each other, can’t feel true empathy, we can’t properly discuss things together and we all succeed and survive at each other’s expense — knowingly or unknowingly.

When we look around, when we read the news and see how this world is functioning we see a world under the total control of the cancer-like human ego.

We can build a different world of course, but for that we would all need to recognize our own ego as the culprit until we reach such a need for self-change, self-upgrade, that we all willingly, purposefully and methodically start changing ourselves.

Only when at least a critical minority of people learns how to thing, decide and act above and against their instincts, only when we learn how to build a unique, Nature-like mutual integration and mutually complementing cooperation above and against ourselves can we build a different world: a world that is not governed by ego and greed, but a world that is governed by selfless, unconditional love and service of others.

This has nothing to with religion, mysticism or philosophy. This is obligated by Nature’s strict and unforgiving laws that sustain the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.
