When we put our needs first.

This is the sixth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the gene­ral decline of civi­li­ty. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

When it comes to needs, I can ans­wer here! If you can name a day when you didn’t put your needs before the needs of others, I’d like to see video evi­dence! In fact, there isn’t a day that goes by where we put our needs first.

In the case of civi­li­ty, it’s not about put­ting our per­so­nal needs second, but sim­ply about not tur­ning com­mon space into a bat­tle are­na. It is pos­sible, in all situa­tions and without excep­tion, to put our needs and those of others first. How can we do this? Well, that’s what we’ll be loo­king at in the next few posts.

Before moving on, I must admit that there is an excep­tion to the rule. Where there are not enough resources for eve­ryone, where fair sha­ring becomes almost impos­sible because of our social norms, where the fear of depri­va­tion domi­nates people’s minds, all these situa­tions des­cribe the same excep­tion, a lack of resources. It is obvious that in a context like this one, live or be left to die, it is impos­sible for me to blame any­thing on whoe­ver will take such and such a deci­sion. Over­po­pu­la­tion will always be the grea­test dan­ger for humans.
