What would our existence be if we weren't able to live together with other human beings? It would probably be a continuous fight, there would always be winners and losers, those who overpower and those who are overpowered. The prevailing feelings would be fear, resentment, aggressiveness... Luckily, this is not the case. Negative feelings do exist, but not to the extent of totally destroying peace. People "are" able to live together and they do want peace. Their greatest wish is to have a more serene life, a life that is in harmony with natural laws. In order to achieve such an inner serenity, human beings need to feel loved, respected and esteemed. They need the awareness of their intrinsic value. As a newborn may die if it doesn't receive attention and love, an adult who feels neglected, unappreciated or despised may end up depressed and choose to withdraw from the world.
