You are right. As long as we blindly follow our instincts, the incessant, egocentric, subjective calculations, trying to succeed and survive at each other’s expense then it will intolerable suffering, terrible loss of life and the subsequent self-subjugation that will lead us to true peace.

On the other hand, we can conjure enough wisdom, ability for critical self-assessment that can help us start the conscious, methodical self-changes, self-adaptation to Nature’s mutual integration and interdependence a step ahead of the blows, suffering.

Even if a small, critical minority starts this self-changing, self-adapting process, they will be able to guide, pull the rest of humanity behind them — the rest of humanity being also pressed by the increasing crisis and inevitable suffering, but before the great calamity, meltdown unfolding.
