Why can’t people love each other?

Question from the Internet:

“Why do humans not love each other and will never give you peace unless you’re in the grave?”

Because we are all born with an inherent nature where we can only love ourselves, we care for our own well-being and fulfilment and make all calculations based on 100% self-serving and self-justifying “pleasure/pain” software.

Occasionally we might have a few other people in our “inner circle”, but only as long as having them closer to us is beneficial for us.

In our generation, our insatiable and all-powerful ego has become so strong that we can’t even keep families together; young people do not even want to establish their own families and mostly cut their close ties to their parents.

We live in the most egoistic, hedonistic and narcissistic generation in history and everything — especially in the West — is only about the self-fulfilment and self-realization of the egotistic and subjective individual, accumulating and consuming profits, resources, goods and services for ourselves regardless of the consequences.

There is no point in blaming society, the media, or politicians. It is our original nature that drove us to this state. And as a result, only by willingly, consciously and purposefully changing and further developing our own inherent nature can we make any changes.

Fortunately, in these days of growing despair, more and more people arrives at the revelation of the “destructive cancer” literally consuming us within ourselves. From here, we just need to develop a true need and willingness to start adjusting, developing and educating ourselves so we would become able to exist and behave above and against our inherent nature.
