Why are we pushing away collective happiness?


Universal logic: As humans we all have not only material needs but also emotional and spiritual needs.

HOW difficult is it to understand that the only way human beings can have collective happiness is to firstly understand that at the very basic level, all human beings have similar basic needs? This fact is actually common sense and I seriously doubt that you need any religion or university education to understand this. On the contrary, it is possible that misunderstandings of religion and formal education can deter you from understanding that basic fact. Let me explain my thoughts further.

It is common sense that we as human beings need certain material things to survive on earth. Whatever religion you belong to, the fact remains that it is you and other fellow human beings that will have to bring into existence and distribute the material things. None of them are going to miraculously appear out of thin air. Hence, we know that human beings need food, water, clothing, shelter, and medical care at the basic level. In a modern society, ability to transport themselves or transportation facilities, education, recreational parks, and such, are basic necessities. I am not even talking about state-of-the-art facilities but decent basic ones so that not even a single citizen is excluded.
