What Exactly Is Broken?

When we look at the world today, it looks like a lot of things are broken.

People feel miserable, isolated, alone, unhappy, depressed etc. and there's crises in families, education, culture, government, finance, ecology etc.

What exactly is broken? Three things are broken:

1. Our connection with God is broken
2. Our connection with each other is broken
3. Our connection with nature is broken 

CONNECTION is what's broken, nothing else.

Today, we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. This means that we're self-centered, thinking only about ourselves and engaging in destructive behaviour that harm us, others and all of nature.

As a result, our connection with each other is broken because we live individual lives plus we cause harm to each other.

Our connection with nature is broken because we cause harm to nature, plus our selfish behaviour goes against the integral laws of nature - where everything is interconnected and interdependent.

Our connection with God is broken because God's quality is bestowal/love of others/altruism and our quality is selfishness. We're opposite to God in quality.

In order to fix what's broken, our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is the only one who can change your internal quality. Ask Him for Help and He'll change you.

Instead of being in selfishness, we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We have to become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being and become connected with each other in mutual guarantee - I seek to benefit you and you seek to benefit me.

Instead of thinking about ourselves, we should think about others. Instead of seeking to benefit ourselves, we should seek to benefit others. This will fix everything that's broken:

1. If our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll become similar to God in quality. This will fix our broken relationship with God because it'll connect us to God in quality.
2. If our qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll become interconnected with each other in mutual concern and responsibility. This will fix our broken relationship with each other because we'll become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being, seeking to benefit each other instead of ourselves.
3. If our qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll become aligned with the integral laws of nature, where everything is interconnected and interdependent. This will fix our broken connection with nature because we'll enter into a harmonious relationship with each other, with animals, plants, rocks and all of nature. The entire system will be in balance.

Once our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, our behaviour will also change. Our priorities, our goals and our purpose will no longer be for ourselves, but for the sake of benefiting others.

As our behaviour changes, all systems that we engage in will also change -  families, education, culture, government, finance, ecology etc. will all change for the better.

The entire world will be united as one family and all the broken connections will be fixed.
