How Is Ego a Global Threat?
On one hand, we live in a period where we need to undergo a fateful transformation from our inborn egoistic attitudes to upgraded, altruistic ones. On the other hand, we lack the qualities to implement such a change.
In order to actualize this transformation, we need to possess the feeling of imbalance that we cause humanity, through closer and broader circles of society, to the entirety of nature and to the whole universe.
Where is this balance, and how do we restore nature's balance from our position as humans? Nature operates on all levels, the still, vegetative, animate, and at the human level, with its laws of interconnection and interdependence.
Where does our activity fit within this picture?
We are constantly evolving and changing in this system, and the main change we undergo as humans is at the level of our relationships and attitudes to each other.

The problem is that the ego constantly grows within us, which makes us want to increasingly benefit ourselves at the expense of others and nature. This is the cause of our every problem. We thus have to learn what the ego is, and how we can balance it in order to have better lives.
We should thus prioritize learning what nature requires of us. First, we should be afraid of breaching nature's balance in our relationships, because by breaching the balance through letting negative relations unfold in an unabated manner, then our imbalance ripples throughout nature and we get hit by nature's many blows, which may be diseases, disasters, or several other problems we encounter on personal, social, economic, and ecological scales.
We should thus initially try to get along with each other in a way that would be positive for everyone. Also, we should understand that positive human connections require us each to rise above our individual egos.
We should seek to rise above our egos and act positively to each other, each like a mother toward her children. Anyone who is in a family with two or more kids of ages that are close to each other would know that the kids' egos regularly flare up, making them fight and argue with each other, and the mother continually tries to stop her children from fighting, trying to make them be good and play nicely with each other. We should also adopt a similar kind of approach to each other in order to improve our connections.

4 个月Why evil and egoism are Not Beneficial. Mathematically, It’s a Bad Idea Let me explain why evil/egoism are neither acceptable nor beneficial to you. Satanists advocates for the idea of “do whatever you want,”. Why is this idea mathematically disadvantageous to satan and his own hierarchy? Because when he does evil, it automatically involves violating the boundaries and rights of other people. In other words, someone has to suffer. So, if he does evil, mathematically speaking, it can only be done at the cost of violating someone else’s goodness (and grace). How can madman even be an “authority” to you? If he seeks to “please himself” at your expense (by violating your boundaries of goodness and your well-being). Logically, any evil act can only be committed at the cost of others’ suffering. This means that any evil committed by satanist or his hierarchy can only happen at your expense and through your suffering (which will inevitably result in a loss for you and your well-being). A system where no one violates the boundaries of others’ goodness is called Goodness (or “following the Will of God”). This way, everyone remains within the boundaries of their own good. Only in this way is happiness possible
