Why there are differences on earth

By general logical inference, earthly society is formed and functions according to the commonality of human beings; earthly society is a collection of commonalities, and we live together because we have commonalities. It can be too superficial to understand our human world in this way. The commonality is the reason why we humans live together with each other, but the difference is precisely the source of our intentionally created social dynamics.

It is precise because people are different from each other that the "energy difference" occurs, that is, without differences, there would be no human society, and without differences, there would be no motivation to live. This has the same meaning as "there is no world without contradictions", without differences between people, there is no life. We use our differences to create life, we rely on each other's differences to make life meaningful. This is the opposite of the human ideal of "one world". Perhaps it is because of the differences between people that we suffer so much that we try to advocate a common world and a common society, but can people be the same?

The essence of the existence of the same species is the same, the same perception, the same behavior, the same purpose, and the same individuals of the same species are the basis for the existence of the species. Species must exist in clusters to survive together, and sameness is a necessary prerequisite for the survival of biological species. However, human beings do the opposite of the premise of species identicality; they intentionally create differences and use them to constitute new forms of existence. Human differences are an important reason for the emergence of human intelligence and civilization, and it is to accommodate such differences that our intelligence and civilization are born, and it is on this difference that human life patterns are built. It never occurred to us that this same-species difference, which is not found in natural creatures, is an anti-existence behavior, and that this difference determines the suffering nature of human life and determines that mankind has thus embarked on a path of no return, with the extinction of the species inevitably ahead.

Every aspect of our life is made up of differences, and the ethics of life forms the basis of all differences. People are distinguished from each other as I and you, spouses as marriage and family, groups as organizations and communities, and geopolitical factors as nations or alliances. We separate people as much as possible by all external differences: color, language, customs, culture, history ...... and all the differences we can find; we separate people by geopolitics, economic functioning, ideology, cultural traditions, life forms, etc.; we separate people by spiritual factors such as ideas, thoughts, emotions, will, purpose, etc. We separate people by concepts, thoughts, feelings, wishes, purposes, and other spiritual factors; we separate people by private ownership, boundaries, morals, rules, management, and other institutions of life. We use all means and measures to divide the differences on earth to the extreme, as well as to make the individual's here and now, here and there, this role and that role, this identity and that identity very different, very different. What is the meaning of difference? It is to separate, you and me, my you and his, my group your group his group, my country your country his country ...... The purpose of separation is to let their respective existence, the formation of various individuals or groups of relative independence, this separation is conducive to the formation of competitive relations, and use the force of this competition to promote the social, economic, cultural, the life of the forward and development.

We live together in a variety of artificially divided differences, and we rely on these differences to maintain their respective existence. So, is it right to look at thoughts and actions? Find the answer in differences; Is life meaningful? Find the result in the differences; the driving force of survival comes from such artificially divided differences. I am better than you, I am better than you, I am richer than you, I am more successful than you ...... is the psychological contrast created by the difference, this contrast forms the "psychological potential" of people's behavioral activities, which gives people the motivation to act intensely. We must note that the intense behavioral activities of other creatures come from the interaction with the external hetero species, but only we, humans, are the most intense interaction between the same species, which means that other creatures are the same species of external competition, only the competition of human beings occurs between the same species of internal, this difference we have not realized. This is why the laws of "survival of the fittest, the dead and the living" and "the weak are the strongest" do not refer to interspecies competition, but rather to the competition among human beings, which is the only form of existence among all living things.

The purpose and meaning of our existence are based on the differences between us and each other. We have long since ceased to exist relative to other species; we exist as human beings relative to each other, and we make and use the meaning of that difference to the fullest. We have long ago ceased to exist in competition with other species for survival, but in competition for survival among individuals of our species, and competition for the same species occurs only in us humans. The competition between species will result in the extinction of the losing species, and what will be the result of our human-human competition? It will only result in the demise of human beings. The natural law of survival of the fittest is not used in nature, but our human selves. What will be the result of our artificially created differences, and will there be any surprises?

The commonality of individuals of the same species is a prerequisite for the existence of that species, but we humans have intentionally dismantled this indispensable commonality. Our deliberate differences are forcefully and completely dismantling our biological commonality as human beings, and we have kept ourselves in the dark for millions of years now. What do we want? Do we know?
