When you see Iran and Israel fighting fiercely, don't you ever think about this?

With so many religious leaders, monks, and believers, and with people practicing spirituality for thousands of years, why does the world seem not to have changed much?

In fact, living in an information-driven world makes it feel even more intense and exhausting than before.

To put it simply, no matter how much one practices spirituality, humans are ultimately still human.

This might sound a bit nihilistic, but if you think about it, it's quite realistic. The very nature of being human is not designed to completely escape desire. When hungry, you need to eat; when comparing, jealousy arises; and there is a desire for recognition.

This is not something that can be completely eliminated through training; it usually just ends up being managed.

Historically, those who claim to have "awakened" are always a minority.

But the important thing is that this minority does not structure the world. Most people do not reach that point.

Honestly, many don't even intend to. They are too busy making a living, and the immediate reality is more important.

Ultimately, the direction of the world is determined not by a few enlightened individuals but by the ordinary majority. With this structure unchanged, how can the world change?

Adding science and technology into the mix complicates things further. Technology makes life easier, but at the same time, it accelerates desire.

In the past, the comparison was limited to a few people in the neighborhood, but now it's against the entire world.

Just opening social media shows that someone is living better, looking cooler, and achieving more success.

In such an environment, telling someone to let go of their greed honestly doesn't make sense. The system itself is designed to constantly provoke desire.

When it comes to money, in today's society, money is not just a means; it's almost a language that solves everything.

Safety, time, freedom, and even human relationships can be somewhat managed with money.

In this situation, suggesting to live without greed sounds nice, but in reality, it carries significant risks.

People ultimately move towards survival. So it's not that money is important; it's that we are in a structure where money has to be important.

That doesn't mean practicing spirituality is meaningless. Even if the world doesn't change for the individual, their life can.

They become less swayed by emotions and develop criteria for making choices. However, the reality is that this change does not translate into a force that changes the world.

In the end, the core issue is that changing all of humanity is nearly impossible. This is because humans are instinctively imperfect, and that imperfection often aids in survival. Desire leads to progress, and competition brings about technology.

Ironically, the very things we consider problems are also the driving forces behind our current civilization.

So the reason the world doesn't change easily is not because someone is less enlightened. The structure itself is designed to operate that way.

Human instincts, social systems, technology, and money. These four elements intertwine to create a single flow. Rather than trying to change the world, it's better to live with less disturbance within it.

Whether practicing spirituality, making money, or using technology, it's all just a choice. Humans are human, and the world isn't going to change significantly either.
