What if I was a “magic wand”?!

Question from the Internet:

“Imagine you are the magic wand. What role might you play in changing the world in the way you want to?”

I think this is a good description. “Being the magic wand” means that although I can do “wonderous things”, I have to be in the hands of someone or some others so I can work. Meaning I cannot be the magic wand and hold myself at the same time.

And this is how all are. We are all “magic wands”< capable of miraculous things, we can all truly change the world with our unique, irreplaceable and crucially important qualities and talents.

But as long as we all try to use our abilities and talents through our own inherently egocentric, subjective, individualistic and exploitative worldview and calculations, we all inevitably cause harm to the whole system and others — and in the end, even to ourselves.

But if we all willingly and mutually place ourselves in the hands of others, if we all pledge to start using all our abilities and talents for the sake of others, for fulfilling the needs and desires of others according to their viewpoints, then suddenly we create a truly “magical system” where everything flows and unfolds in a positive, constructive and mutually beneficial way.

We are all infinitely capable magic wands in the “right hands” — when instead of selfishly using and consuming everything only for our own sake, we all start acting only for the sake of others.

This is not some kind of a utopia; it is not mysticism, not even a dream about the future.

This behaviour is the key to our collective survival in Nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system, according to the laws of Nature.
