What if I had power?

I want the world to be as good as it can be for everyone. I would seek the perfect balance.

However, if I am honest with myself (and one can never be anything but honest to oneself subconsciously) I can be disdainful, vindictive, and self righteous. I feel I might be holding myself back from developing agency over the world around me to keep from dealing with the person I could easily become.

I need to change how I respond to irritation and frustration. I need to rewire myself. I need to make myself worthy of the ability to reshape the world.

I want to know: what’s the perfect form or state or condition that we can work towards? A goal that would be agreeable for everyone and that avoids harming, taking from, or limiting another. Where everyone can know fulfilment. What does that version of humanity look like? How does it work? How do we get there?

I’d like to preface by saying that I believe firmly in the notion that none are ever above or beneath another.

That being said, humanity’s current push for equality, though well intended, is poorly executed.

It’s not a race thing, it’s not a gender thing, it’s not a sexual orientation or identity thing, it’s not a politics thing, it’s not a religion thing, it’s not a money thing, it’s not a class thing. Those are just the symptoms. The root fallacy is “US against THEM”. There is no THEM. It’s all US.

That’s what needs to change. Get rid of that imaginary line that separates US from others. Sure, there can be different, groups, demographics, cultures, etc… but all are still human. All are worthy. We can make it work, we are that good.
