Most issues in the world can be broken down to a simple cause: people do not want to give or invest in others. Nations fight, families divorce, kids get depressed, all over this simple flaw.
Why do I call it a flaw? Because it goes against natural law. In nature, we see the polar opposite of this vice, we see "living for the greater good". It is undeniable that when a creature in nature dies, it lends its body as nutrients for the soil and for future life. Because of this, nothing can exist solely for its own sake in nature.
We see that nature is comprised of complementary entities that are only able to survive through their mutual giving. A bee can only get honey through a flower, and a flower can only reproduce through bees. Protons and electrons must interact in harmony to form an atom.
We should expect the same for human beings, however we quickly realize that human beings, unlike the natural world, have the ability to choose whether to stand by this universal law or to abandon it. Yet we should constantly remind ourselves and others around us that by choosing to abandon the law of living for the greater good, investing in others, we will inevitably lead to the ruin of ourselves and of the greater good.
