An Answer to Society's Problems

Perhaps self is the antithesis of unity. Perhaps it depends on how one defines self. Perhaps this is the fundamental problem of any society. If a society is made up of persons for whom self is defined as being contained within one's skin, then that society will come to eventual ruin. But if a society defines self as the collective of human kind, then the needs of The Human will be ultimately satisfied.

creatures, harm,

Whenever one creature harms another, this is less than ideal.

Two things that I can now think of as causes for harm between creatures: lack of understanding, and conflict of interest. These need consideration. I think them to not be sufficiently encompassing. What about intentional versus unintentional causation of harm?

Anyway, the definition of harm needs to be considered as well. Is to withhold vital information from someone who needs it to harm them? Perhaps. If you push them out of the way of oncoming traffic with such force that you injure them, is this harm. Perhaps not. So, how to define it?
