If people were to start changing themselves, then the mistrust of others that causes people to become self-interested in the first place would also disappear. Without this mistrust, there would be no greed. So my answer to you would be that yes I think this would thwart of some of the major problems in our society. Thank You for your question and for reading. I hope to hear from you in the future as well.

What intrigues me most about your post is that if more people tapped into their own authentic self, then the world would truly be "changed" THAT drastically. People would begin to reevaluate their interest and values, an then begin to adapt to their new found "being". Now, the question I would then ask is, would there be such a dramatic shift in consciousness that would thwart off problems in our society, such as greed and the like? The reason I say it, is that most people I think, would tend to think humans are born greedy by nature...I feel we are all created with an innate good within, and that it is the world that taints our natural glory. Well, thank you for the post, and I truly look forward to your future posts!! Ruda, I am fascinated by your insight.
