The world is now composed of more than 7.4 billion people. The population is growing at more than 176,000 a person, per second. That’s crazy.
The vast expansion of globalization has made us more connected now than ever before in history. But something is still not right. Although there is this increase in connection, it feels like there is also this huge disconnection. We’ve become numb to how we treat each other.
The world has become a cold place. We treat each other terribly, hurt each other unimaginably, and somehow have no regard for our actions at all. We’ve become deprived of any sort of feeling as to how we treat one another. Half the time, we don’t even realize what we do, nor how our words and actions affect each other.
Many of us are focused on the wrong things. We’re focused on selfish things. All of these wrong things include: what someone can do for us; how much money we can make (even at someone else’s expense); how much can we work (even if we knowingly have to sell our soul and our morals); how much can we bully someone just for kicks; how can we ignore the needy to not see their pain; how can we take advantage of someone because we don’t care… the list goes on and on.
Do you see the connection to all of these things?
If you don’t, I do.
They’re all based on our selfish, heartless actions, and thoughts. Many of us have no compassion. No truth. No love. No humanity. Only pride and selfishness. And sadly, that’s how many of us act to each other every single day. We’ve become all about ourselves, solely focused on ourselves… focused on how *we* can benefit from everything and anything.
It’s almost surreal how terribly we treat each other. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We clearly think that our actions, our cold shoulders, and our ignoring those who need help have no impact on anyone. We tend to ignorantly live in our own little bubble, not caring of how the things we do might be discouraging someone, hurting someone, or even damaging someone’s life. I hate watching the news, because the news makes these things even more evident.
What have we become as a world? Why are we continuing to say this is just how life is? This is just how we are going to act? In order for us to effectively change what’s happening, this needs to happen:
We need to start treating each other the way that we would want to be treated.
We need to literally put ourselves in the position of the people we interact with and ask ourselves: Would I want someone to treat me this way? Is this the type of treatment that I would want from someone?
If each of us were to put those two personal questions towards ourselves and answer them honestly, I believe the world would change overnight. If we all treated each other the way that we wanted to be treated, the world would be a different place. Many things that we thought could be possible to solve, would probably get solved. The only way that the current condition of the world will change is if we each become the change we need. We have to start treating each other the way that we want to be treated.
