No Need to Destroy Anything

What concerns people the most? According to a UNESCO survey a large number of mostly young people identified the greatest problems facing us as global warming and the disappearance of species of flora and fauna. The second greatest concern was about conflict and violence, then discrimination and inequality. Then came the concerns about the lack of food and shelter. I think the greatest concern is how to exist in a warm, kind, supportive and confident atmosphere for ourselves, for the people around us and for our children. We have to understand that if we cannot control nature then control ourselves in order to bring ourselves closer to nature. This is the most important. Then it will be good for me, for my neighbor, for my relatives and everyone else. The most important is to find out the cause of the many conflicts that exist between us, as well as between us and nature. We have to find the reason. Then we will learn what the greatest danger to us is and what to do about it. This reason is the huge discrepancy between each of us. It is our huge egoism which divides us, pushes us apart, sets us up against each other and does not allow us to connect nor to bring ourselves and the entire world around us into a balanced, good state. So what people should really care about is to learn how to work with our egoism. There is nothing else, as this is the only force that rules everything in the world. We have to make sure to learn how to control it. When we remove man from the picture - like in Chernobyl for example - everything calms down and comes into balance. There are no more problems. Nature begins to flourish. But removing man actually means removing man’s egoism and then maybe there will be something good left of him, although I am not sure. In truth if we removed the ego nothing remains of man as this is all we have. Thus instead of removing the ego we need to learn how to correct it, so this force will be positive instead of being negative. We can see how a mother takes care of her child, with love and devotion. We are capable of this when we feel love toward another. So we just need to achieve love toward each other without eradicating anything. On the contrary, instead of eradicating anything we have to add love toward others and then everything will fall into place. We do not want to destroy anything.
