🌿 The Default Mode We Must Break

Most of us already know in our hearts that life is precious.

Still, in practice, not all life is honored that way. And let’s be honest—it’s not only capitalism. In every system humans have created—monarchies, feudalism, communism, even tribes—we’ve managed to exploit, dominate, and rank some lives above others.

And the worst part is, this “ranking” of human worth has become our default mode of existence—a kind of unconscious operating system. It’s fueled by fear—fear of not being enough, fear of losing control, and fear born of invented scarcity. The idea that there isn’t enough dignity, worth, or resources to go around drives humans to grasp, hoard, and dominate.

But the real problem isn’t the system. It’s us—acting from fear, greed, and the need to control. Out of that, we create structures that devalue life.

That’s why it is critical—not optional—that we return to our truer nature.

• Because hierarchies don’t last. Like unstable structures in physics, anything built on imbalance eventually collapses.

• Because Universal Law doesn’t bend. Just as gravity pulls everything down without discrimination, the Law of Life affirms the dignity of all. Deny it, and we deny ourselves.

• Because our survival is at stake. Ecosystems show us: exploit one part of life, and the whole system suffers. Humanity is no exception.

• Because without returning, we lose meaning. A life measured only by hierarchy or performance is like chasing an ever-receding horizon—empty, exhausting, and endless.

  
  

  💫 This is not optional. If we want to heal, to survive, to truly live—we must return.
