Oneness

   I was listening to this Physicist on the youtube talk about how on the sub-atomic level we are all one.   They know this now and we should act accordingly.   Psychology knows this stuff already.   Jung called it the "Oceanic feeling". It's the idea that we are connected by a psyche and a physical space.   I was thinking for example, If I kick you in the leg I am doing some great psychological harm to myself.   If I find you with a hurt leg and come and help you then I will be doing some good things for my psyche and feel like a better person.

     So now that we have that information we can set about to change society and arrange it in a different way that isn't based off of competition, exploitation, and money.   Through history you could divide societies into ones that were based off of competition and ones based off of cooperation.  Societies based off of competition generally were less happy, had lots more problems and treated their women and children worse.  Societies based off of cooperation were happier, had less issues, and treated their women and children better.   That all would have led

to better mental health for the cooperative societies then the competitive ones.  

     How will we accomplish this change from a competitive to a cooperative society?  We have to realize this oneness that science and psychology and your own damn experience will tell you if you get out and feel it.   On the scale of the most co-dependent giver to the most narcissistic greedy business dude, we have to tell the giver that if they really want to help others then they need to show more self love, treat themselves to something nice, remember they are as important as those they help, or more so.   The narcissist needs to be told that if they really want to be the best and get more then everyone then they have to help everyone else because they are connected and everyone else is just as important as he, if not more so.   There is the psychological catch 22 that we will have to deal with.   So go out and love yourself and others to the extent that you need to based off of how currently over or under self appreciating you are.
