BELIEF IN A BETTER WORLD ?

Some countries have set up public surveillance in order to ensure security but what about since the attacks in the United States in September 2001 and the establishment of federal laws allowing the violation of fundamental rights in the name of national security, do Americans feel more secure? Or China controlling all the doings of its people in its public surveillance or social credit? Are they happy? Long before the United States and China, ancient empires had the same idea of controlling everything in the name of security, but none were able to bring this noble project to fruition. For what ? First of all, nothing can last in the world, this is a universal and scientifically verifiable law, the physicist Lavoisier affirmed Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed. Both nature and human beings are in constant evolution, the world changes, evolves but does not remain frozen in time.

Then the different religions recognize one thing about the nature of the human species, fundamentally bad, history tells us about its wild, selfish and sadistic nature. And finally, the political vision of the realization of a perfect world is only pure illusion or utopia as in Thomas More's work "Utopia"; Another fact noted among the behavior of the majority of individuals is the need to exist in relation to the other who is his competitor, his adversary in society. The philosophy of being better than the other, materially, emotionally, in terms of social power, without the other or its opposite, its existence is meaningless. "I exist through the other" even in the spiritual realm, the individual has to create for himself a god different from him, an opposite in order to be able to compete and become better. Which brings us to the principle of the opposite in the affirmation of its existence, the idea of living alone is an unbearable thing for many people, some of whom do not fit into this philosophy, the human being is a social being who needs the other to exist. Having a reference to improve is a good thing in itself but not in a constant, continual or permanent way. The end should be to realize that nothing can be perfect in the material or physical world, no need to create a god or follow a community that worships a deity because the individual is the problem and the solution.
