The persistent problem with the human condition is that after man has instituted some revolutionary change for the collective better, these same men typically backslide towards self-centered, avaricious and occasionally nefarious tendencies. This merely drives the cycle of discontent. In order to combat this inclination man must first learn how to be self-aware and vigilant of his own programmed instincts and behaviors such that he may recognize these nasty little tendencies for what they are, tendencies that are to the benefit of the individual and maybe his immediate community but that can be destructive or even anti-social for the greater whole. Man simply needs to levy a campaign of self-realized truth.
For example, as per the Rule of 150 and its cousin hypothesis the Rule of Familiarity, man is xenophobic by nature. When a man is confronted by a strange man of which he might exploit, were he to consider his situation as a creature that is pre-programmed to be wary to aggressive towards the stranger, then he might be able to combat any shifty designs that he might have contemplated through an honest evaluation of the animal nature, his animal nature, in regards to the whole affair. In doing so, the truth of his nature is acknowledged, embraced, and hence is not vilified into the shadowy realms of Stygian iniquity. Man can be compelled to do the right thing not because the bible tells him so, but because it furthers a social existence that eschews discontent and catapults mankind into the machinations of honest glory. This acceptance of veritable human nature is the only compound that will accelerate humanity and society into an exemplary existence, one of which each of us can wake each day, look into the mirror, and be honestly proud of what we see. Now that is a life worth looking towards.
