If you decided to judge everything happening simultaneously, the countless ideas sustaining the world and its inconsistencies and contradictions, all you would achieve would be to waste your time and energy, besides becoming schizophrenic.
The world is what it is because of that absurd, chaotic clash of ideas. Each individual is locked inside their own little world of personal thoughts, their own small plot of mind. And how many belief systems might there be on Earth right now? As many as there are people. How could there not be conflict when everyone thinks differently and believes in a world different from everyone else’s?
It would also be utopian to expect someone else to share your way of thinking completely without having broken their will, turned them into a zombie, or reduced them to a lifeless puppet. Someone without a will of their own, without critical thinking or discernment.
Everyone will believe what they choose to believe and live according to those beliefs, for their way of life, their way of doing things, and their way of relating to the world around them are implicit in those beliefs. Would you fight everyone so that your beliefs prevailed, or would you simply offer a white flower to everyone who crossed your path? What does it matter what each person believes?
The problem is not what they believe; the problem is using the beliefs of their tiny world as an excuse to hate another person, to justify an endless siege, to justify subjugation, to coerce them and deprive them of their freedom to choose.
The only thing that truly needs to be achieved is peace. Something that would only be possible if we allowed everyone else to be free. If we did not actively try to make others comply with our selfish wishes. If we were truly able to respect another person’s will, we might be ready to respect our own, which means we would be ready to be “free”.
And, of course, when I say “free”, I mean a freedom constrained by the limits of this world and its way of thinking, since true freedom can only lie in transcending it.
Clearly, in a world as immensely complex as this one, exercising that “freedom” is not easy. What is certain is that at least you would not be wearing yourself down constantly trying to achieve the impossible. You would not be fighting an endless war in which, even if you won the battle, you would have bound yourself to the defeated, forced to drag the chains that would unite you from that moment on.
We secretly believe that the summit of the world lies beyond winning that battle; yet all we achieve is to become an enslaver who becomes a slave to the enslaved.
Share your beliefs, yes, but do not try to convince anyone of what is simply your profoundly limited point of view.
