Ultimately humans need to take on a more humane approach to save their very souls. The writing is on the wall, the warning signals are there. It’s a case of “coming, ready or not”! Our fear of ill health, our horror at what we’ve allowed to happen to so many innocent animals and to the structure of the planet, is forcing us to take on new attitudes, many of them seemingly outside our comfort zones. To make up for lost time we will eventually have to apply (non-violent) ahimsic principles to just about everything in sight.
If we can achieve this we might stand a chance of maximising our available energy and put it to good use, especially if we don’t squander it on wasteful rearguard actions like judging, disliking or disapproving of others. The focus needs to be on setting our standards high enough so that we can operate constructively and drop value judgments altogether. Once we can drop our destructive habits we’ll like ourselves the better for it, even to the extent of liking those who don’t yet agree with us. It seems to me that this is the best way we can plug an energy drain in ourselves, and then to concentrate on the job of getting our ideas across to others.
