should the world not be thinking about betterment of human life than vested interests like power?

Answer 1

Power is a survival skill too

Answer 2

Vested interests like power (are) for the betterment of human life.

Answer 3

The fact is, there are no shoulds or shouldn'ts. These are created by the individual.

When individual s focus on what other s should do or not, Then they are trying to controll the other. This is an interest of Power as well.

Remember, that there are many forms of interests in power, and no matter the intention, One must not stray from there own path, if they wish to contribute peace into the world.

If everyone , focused on there own path, and decided to walk there own path,( instead of looking at other people and telling them to "follow me"), then the world would change to peace over night.

For example, if a person wants to lead others the way Home. Then one should point their torch of light in front of themself, and look to where they step ahead.

Yet if that person, is Always looking behind himself to see if anyone is following, then he is NOT looking at where he walks, (which is just like walking blindly, for you do not see where you go) And he is also leading Whom ever is following him, Into darkness.

Answer 4

If the power is going to be used to better human life, then I think they can work hand in hand. I think power preceeds human betterment. It enables those who are working toward humanitarian ends.

Answer 5

Certainly! but that would require the majority of people to reject the belief that possessions and power will provide them security.

This belief structure is obviously false. All people will grow old, will suffer, will die, and can't take any of their possessions with them.

Acceptance of these inevitable facts will lead people to practice mutual compassion.
