The problems of our world are systemic in nature.
They cannot be solved by piece-meal-thinking
and fragmented actions.

„Today‘s crisis is the symptom of a fundamental change, it is the travail of a new world. Such a change possibly has never before occured in history.“
Fredmund F. Malik Handelsblatt, 13. Juli 2009

Fragmentation of thinking and action
Search for solutions onthe level of the problems
There are two traps of thinking to be avoided ...
Problems can never be solved by the same way of thinking by which they have been caused
it needs a change of level
Man has the duty to work against the atomization of the individuals and the fighting of all against all and by this taking part in the unification of the world.
Teilhard de Chardin, 1881 – 1955french Jesuit, Philosopher, Antropologist and
Paläontologist
Albert Einstein, 1879 – 1955

This in fact is also true with our present problems. They cannot be overcome by the same way of mindset.
And yet we exactly try this:
We fight terrorism, poverty, crime, conflicts of cultures, invironmental problems and deseases by the same way of thinking, the same strategies and methods, by which they originally came into being. And by this we stick to the symptoms instead of curing the real cause.

The individualism und the egotism, as we witness them today, have to be considered as a neuro-biological dysplasia ... Individuals can only live for a short time at the expences of others. But the goal is not a short-term advantage but success in the long term .
Men cannot continue living in a way, as if we were not sitting in the same boat. We do not own an individual planet for each one of us. We are much more connected in the depth than we are ready to accept.
Dr. Gerald Hüther, German Neurobiologist

„Such economic systems will be strongly altruistic and cooperative in nature; they will provide meaningful employment and will help to eradicate poverty in the world.“
„The ultimate function of economic systems should be to equip the peoples and institutions of the world with the means to achieve the real purpose of development: that is, the cultivation of the limitless potentialities latent in human consciousness.“
Bahá‘í International Community: „Valuing Spirituality in Development”, February 1998

„Ultimately, the creation of a peaceful and just global civilization, in which the diverse peoples of the world live in harmony with one another and with the natural world, will require a significant reorientation of individual and collective goals and a profound transformation in attitudes and behaviors.“„Such far-reaching changes will come about only by addressing the non-material dimension of reality and drawing on humanity's vast spiritual resources.“
Bahá‘í International Community:„Sustainable Development: the Spiritual Dimension“, Statement to the First Session of the Preparatory Committee of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, May 2001

As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science
and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
