If aliens from another planet came to Earth and observed our behaviour, what would they see?
We make houses, birds make houses. We store food, squirrels store food. We live in groups, animals live in groups. We behave like animals.
Yet, while animals take only what they need from nature, we take more than we need from nature. While animals generally kill for food, sometimes we kill for sport and entertainment.
While animals live in harmony and balance with nature, we're a disruptive force that harms ourselves, others and all of nature.
We think we're smart, but our behaviour says otherwise.
We have to change. Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal. We have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
We have to connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility and we have to become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.
In this way we'll attain Godliness, a new level of connection and unity. Then we'll reach harmony and balance with each other, with all of nature and with God Himself.
