A human being's desires can only be fulfilled according to their natural purpose.
An individual has physical desires and social desires.
Physical desires can be fulfilled by the individual. Their purpose is survival.
On the other hand, social desires can only be fulfilled through others. Their purpose is the survival of the society.
When an individual uses their social desires selfishly, it leads to a never-ending pursuit of more. On the global level, this creates social, economic and political imbalance.
One can choose to fulfill their social desires in two ways - for themselves or for the whole.
Obviously, choosing global benefit as the aim balances the global surplus, creating positive results at all levels.
But the sad thing is, we are all addicted to the surplus.
Can we change that? Should we?
