Tammi Dee

Answer 2

It is our heart. I started out by looking at all that others were doing wrong in my life that affected me. I was wrong. I had to learn to look at my own heart and see what is wrong there.
The Jews thought the Romans were there enemy. The Catholics thought the heretics were there enemy. Sometimes the atheist or the pagan think the believer is the enemy. HATE is the enemy. Violence and bloodshed are the enemies. What would it take for us to realize we need to love and not judge one another.
That's when it will be resolved - when each of us can love.

Answer 3

The concept that we're separated, individual selves. That's the only problem; everything else results from that. It can only be resolved by each person having the experience where they realize that they're not these selves and that everything is connected. It's called enlightenment. Along the way to getting that experience, the mind training will result in less self-centeredness so ... if the training is adopted, there will be less and less crap in the world.

Answer 4

Humanity's greatest problem is the attachment to the material, it is the root of all suffering. It can be solved through a lifetime of devotion to any of several religious paths. I have happened to choose Buddhism as mine...

"Never have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear"

Answer 5

Mankind's biggest problem is that he AND she are extremely self centered in every facet of society.
Mankind has failed to reach out and put others who may be less fortunate or be "different" FIRST.

Just look at teenagers today...they HAVE to have a cell phone, they HAVE to have an ipod, and they HAVE to have evry new dvd and CD that comes out.
All of that wasted money could go to help others less forutnate.

And by the way..I am self centered too,, sadly.

Answer 6

There is only one problem - Lack of God Consciousness.

Solution - Become God Conscious.

How to know God? There are many bonafide paths to know God. God sends His messengers or He Himself comes down to this world and establishes religious principles. The knowledge of Godhead is presented at different times according to the capacity of the receivers. This knowledge is given according to time, place and audience. Thus knowledge of Godhead exists in Bible and Koran and Torah, etc. However, it is given in a lot of detail and in a more scientific way in the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is and The Srimad-Bhagavatam. Both of these are available @ www.krishna.com

Disparity in human society is due to lack of principles in a godless civilization. There is God, or the Almighty One, from whom everything emanates, by whom everything is maintained and in whom everything is merged to rest. Material science has tried to find the ultimate source of creation very insufficiently, but it is a fact that there is one ultimate source of everything that be. This ultimate source is explained rationally and authoritatively in the beautiful Bhāgavatam, or Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the transcendental science not only for knowing the ultimate source of everything but also for knowing our relation with Him and our duty toward perfection of the human society on the basis of this perfect knowledge. It is powerful reading matter in the Sanskrit language, and it is now rendered into English elaborately so that simply by a careful reading one will know God perfectly well, so much so that the reader will be sufficiently educated to defend himself from the onslaught of atheists. Over and above this, the reader will be able to convert others to accepting God as a concrete principle.

Answer 7

Mankind's greatest problem is 'man'.If it weren't for people, relationships would be easy. If man wasn't greedy there would be no problem. If man was consistent, there would be no problem. If man were man instead of pretending to be God, there would be no problem. However, I find no solution until man starts looking at itself as the problem. (or... wait for God to fix us).

Answer 8

Mankind's greatest problem is greed. I think we all know that this isn't something that will ever be resolved...

Answer 9

itself.
mankind has found ways to promote its "evolution" but wars are prevalent, killings are so many each day we're desensitized to the news.
Abortion kills thousands each year, hatred and racism run rampart through the streets of the world.
I believe mankind will ultimately destroy itself. It has yet to create a weapon that it won't use in war. The nuclear weapon is next.
Why would man create a weapon when it knows it would destroy the planet it lives on?
It will use it.

Answer 10

Getting past the differences in others. It's so easy to get along and love our family and friends, much harder to "agree to disagree" and be tolerant towards different cultures, races, religions, etc. The only solution is to love (treat) one another as we would want to be loved (treated). If the world would actually do this, our troubles would be few.

Answer 11

Effective communication in fulfilling one anothers needs.

We have the means, the food, the water for all of earth if we worked together for a greater cause but no such luck because the rich want to be richer.
