Hurting someone's self-respect can lead to bitter conflicts and even bloodshed. Why does a threat to self-respect tear a person from within? Like animals protecting their territory, we sense the world according to the felt boundaries. A threat to one’s self-respect hurts because of the innate knowledge that even the smallest and most insignificant person nonetheless has a place in the world. There's the saying, "Don't do to others what you hate." But is it even possible for people to live together, while everyone also wants to extend their boundaries and enter another’s turf? Yes, it is possible. It's all in a psychological change. Nature gives us both—the innate drive to expand our turf all the time and a psychological mechanism teaching us how to be successful together. So let's do the opposite: Make room for everyone and suddenly you would feel that everyone is making room for you. The entire world is yours. If, however, no one wants to budge a millimeter for the other person, then we all suffocate. The drive for self-respect alone takes us to the cemetery. What does it mean to make room for the other person? It is nothing special; it is sheer psychology. There's a kind of blindness that prevents us from rising above our ego. Once we apply “what’s mine is yours,” then we reach a state where the entire world is truly yours. Connection with others is the means for self-correction and for self-control in relation to others. We would then all feel that everyone is a close friend and everything is great. When we enter the right balance between us, then we reach balance with nature. In the state where people make room for each other, we respect the upper force, the force of nature—the desire to bestow, to love, from which everything was created. He is the king of the world. Because of Him I feel that I'm a king of the world and you feel like a king of the world, and she does, and he does. Yes, it happens to all of us but when we connect correctly with each other, then each of us also feels that the other person is king of the world, too. This is how we can reach a world that is utterly good.
