Our deep beliefs and core values are on a self-protecting mode. The 'self' has to be defended against imaginary attacks. It constructs the outside world as a space of enmity, and hence spends ample time building structures of protection.
To bring in the concept of the society's welfare as a core value, we have to rebuild our foundation ideologies.
The Gods have to tell us to take care of the world at large - the streets, the roads, the bridges, schools, hospitals and governments.
The attempt at the purification of the soul has to be extended to the purification of the concrete world as well.
Sartre's 'lie' in the centre - amidst honesty- has to be addressed. Our capability for a high level of self-delusion has to be studied. The collide of self protection and social welfare has to be analysed.
