What would it take to save the world? Our time is short, and our problems are multiplying. To make a real difference, we need to be realistic about where the problem stems from. Governments and corporations are not our biggest enemy, ego is — narrow self-interest expressed in every area of life. Ego is the root of our woes, and ego inevitably foils all our attempts to solve them. If we look at it honestly and take it personally, we'll realize the power is truly in OUR hands, because each of us has egoic impulses, and each of us has the power to overthrow ego in ourselves. If enough people do that, there's hope for this world. see article
