Being Better Beings: For Personal, Social, and Global Peace Omidi, Tom, PH D

While most of us prefer to remain as we are-so dogmatic and naughty-it is crucial to at least know why we cannot, or refuse to, be better beings (BBB). Does this mean that humans have no capacity for salvation, or merely social corruption is killing our spirits and our basic intuition for goodness?Surely, the majority of personal and social limitations relates to humans' crude nature, people's genetic flaws, and rearing damages leading to a vast variety of odd personalities and quirks. At the same time, we get no incentive or self-discipline for being better beings, as a potential refuge for a simpler, more peaceful life. We do not have a reliable source of social guidance to grasp our innate being and boost our spirits, either. Meanwhile, personal, social, and environmental problems are deepening too fast with no smart leaders or feasible plans at hand to help people and reverse this downfall acceleration. Another obstacle for being a better being is that dealing with such big variety of humans' personalities and natures across the greedy population living in cruel, materialistic societies has become a major challenge and mental burden. On the other hand, we have a spiritual curiosity and an eager spirit to explore our potential for being a better person. While life and society usually suffocate our innate urge for goodness, some of us get an opportunity to redeem our spirits and find tranquility.
