“Governments”, which are an outpicturing of the Authoritarian Paradigm, prevent worldwide peace because they are based on the narcissistic belief that some adults have the right to forcibly control the lives of others. Whereas the truth is that all adults are meant to be self-governing, not governed by other adults. Giving up “government” sets us free to be fully self-responsible adults, which alone makes a mature and peaceful world possible. Giving up Statism, which is the world’s universal religion, is the first step to realizing a sane and harmonious humanity.
