Why don’t we understand that we are obligated towards each other?

Question from the Internet:

“Why don’t we use our latent ability for mutual understanding, feeling our mutual obligation towards each other?”

Because this ability and obligation has been latent and dormant for a long time, overshadowed and overruled by our “other side”, which is our also inherent self-serving, self-justifying and exploitative ego.

Our latent and dorman obligation towards mutually responsible and mutually complementing integration comes to us from our origin in nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system. Our ego, on the other hand, is a unique addition to humans, which is missing from the rest of the natural system.

It is this insatiable, constantly intensifying and demanding, eternally curious human ego that separated us from other developed primates and catapulted humanity to its present state of development – in contrast to chaimpanzees and oranguthans that remained virtually unchanged and unmoved for millions of years.

On the other hand, this human ego also made us exist and behave like cancer towards each other and nature, and brought us to this point of no return, when we are seemingly ready to self destruct.

This self-destruction could ignite either directly, through wars, socioeconomic collapse and destruction of the natural environment, or it can unfold as a result of our desperate inability to comprehend and solve our mounting global problems. But as the human ego was installed in us by nature’s evolution, this deterministic plan also made sure we reach this turning point. Besides the ego we also received a unique, conscious bhuman intellect, that is capable of recognizing our inherent self-destruction and its root cause, the ego. Moreover, we also have the ability to initiate a conscious and purposeful self-upgrade or self-developmental process.

The only question is how much more suffering we need before the conscious and willing self-change and self-development starts.

Without going through the self-destructive egoistic development, reaching its dead end and then starting a very different, conscious and purposeful human development we could never learn aboyt and fulfill our unique evolutionary Human purpose in nature. We need the uniquely human contrast between egoism and altruism, selfish hate and selfless love, individualistic separation and collective cooperation to be prepared for our role and purpose and to understand and fully attain natural reality “from one end to the other” in its perfect totality.

So the time has come to awaken and strenghten our latent and so far dormant ability of mutual understanding, integration, the so far unexperienced ability to perceive reality through each lother’s desires and viewpoints. And when we reach the point, where these positive qualities and abilities can balance and control our selfish, egoistic and individualistic side, we will become Human beings and build a human society that can seamlessly integrated into and partner nature.
