Without treating the root cause, any treatment is useless

Question from the Internet:

“As tensions (both economic and political) hit humanity today, what are the possible solutions for global unity and peace?”

In order to achieve true and lasting peace and global unity — which frankly looks like a mission impossible right now — we would need to reveal and accept what is causing all the tensions, disunity and conflicts we suffer from.

So far, we have been only dealing with the external symptoms, and our “solutions” were and are also only targeting the symptoms we can observe in society, the economy, politics and so on.

And just like in medicine, symptomatic treatment without actually treating the cause is detrimental and dangerous.

We still have grave difficulties accepting that the problem is not human society, culture or the political and economic systems human beings build. The problem is the human being that develops and builds those systems and invents the ideologies those systems are built on.

We need to focus on research and then purposeful develop the human being so later, the upgraded and improved human being could develop and build better societies and political and economic systems.

We need to refine and further develop the human being so that above and against our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic intentions and attitude, we can build positive, lasting, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing interconnections and cooperation.

Only when we acquire this uniquely Human ability to exist and behave above and against our instinctive nature, to balance our egotistic internal program with Nature-like, altruistic intentions and actions, can we hope for peace and global unity that will last and provide the foundations for a better, “truly Human” life.

And for this, we need a special, purposeful and highly practical educational method or wisdom that can provide the know-how and the practical exercises alike.
