Why dont you change? What prevents you? If each one of us asks that question... not verbally or merely intellectually as a mere entertainment. But ask that question most seriously and deeply. Whats your answer? Whats your answer to this problem that human beings have lived this way for millennia upon millennia? Why havent they changed? Why havent you, who are listening now, why havent you changed? You know if you dont change, what the consequences are. Youll be national, nationalistic. Youll be tribal, insular, isolated, and therefore have no relationship globally. Fighting, fighting, fighting. Building up more and more armaments, destroying each other. Now why dont you, if you are at all serious in this matter, why dont you ask yourself that question? Why havent I, a human being who have been to all this... why havent I changed? What would be your answer?... Either you are not serious. You want to live a very very superficial life, and that superficiality temporarily satisfies you. Or you really dont care. As long as youre immediate pleasures, immediate satisfactions... you really dont care. You dont care for your children if they are murdered, or you really have no deep love or affection for them. If you had, you would prevent all wars. So, apparently, none of these things mean anything to you. Or probably you are so deeply conditioned psychologically... of course we are biologically conditioned as a full matter altogether, but psychologically conditioned. And one is not aware of it. And unless there is a fear from this condition, you will go on this way. After all...life is what? One global unity movement. So, in the same way... our consciousness is common to all mankind. Now, if I radically change, surely it affects the rest of the consciousness of man. Now...why dont you change? Jiddu Krishnamurti.
