However, all of this can be changed if we choose to. How? Convincing others not to cause harm.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long ago, a small number of people managed to eradicate major injustices such as slavery, the ancien r\u00e9gime or the subjugation of women by men by passing their ideas on to others\u2014some of whom did the same\u2014creating a chain that eventually became the majority. Like a row of dominoes, one after another they fell, surrendering to justice.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that was possible in the past\u2014when there were no social networks, smartphones, or internet, and when most people did not even know how to read or write\u2014it is much easier today given that with these technologies we can get messages to quite a lot of people very quickly.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be wondering: and why should I share those messages?<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I ask you the following questions: read them in&#8230;<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><em>&#8230;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/give-meaning-to-your-life-by-doing-something-for-a-better-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AVOID HARM! Give meaning to your life by doing something for a better world<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve that happier world in which we do not trample on one another, we face a major barrier, even bigger than the Great Wall of China: there are 8 billion people on the planet. And how are we going to convince all of them? At first glance, it may seem like an impossible mission with our limited means, like trying to bring down that Great Wall with a simple hammer.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if we think a little more, we realize that we have 2 good reasons for optimism.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>1. MATHEMATICS<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first reason to have optimism is that mathematics do not lie: if I share my messages on all my social networks and with all (or most of) my contacts, and I convince only a small percentage of them to do the same with their contacts\u2014and those contacts do the same, and so on\u2014then in the end these messages will reach most of the world\u2019s population.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this provided that they are translated into enough languages for everyone to understand them, and that for each language a first person is found to start spreading the messages, since 86% of the world\u2019s population has a mobile phone and that percentage will very likely increase.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>2. THE INNATE SENSE OF ETHICS<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second reason to have optimism is that we have an <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/be-guided-by-your-sense-of-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>innate sense of justice<\/u><\/a><\/span>, in some people much more developed than in others. I do not have scientific data, but intuitively I believe that on average we have approximately 40% benevolence and 60% unscrupulous selfishness. That percentage does not seem very encouraging for getting you to help share these messages so that they reach every corner, since the glass seems a little more empty than full. But the good (and bad) news is that this percentage varies greatly between people depending on their genetics and education, perhaps even reaching 90\u201395% goodness\/justice and 5\u201310% evil\/ignobleness.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore \u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33fd211 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"33fd211\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-5451\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5451\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more...<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5451\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5451\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">\u2026if I have several hundred contacts on WhatsApp and Facebook and I ask them to share the messages about not harming others, it is likely that several of them will do so, especially those with the highest levels of ethics. And among their contacts it is also quite possible that several will do the same, and so on, which enables a chain that ultimately reaches almost everywhere.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, over time the percentage of contacts who share will likely increase, because even if at first they had not reflected much on this, once they do, their innate sense of right and wrong pushes them to act.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>THE STRUGGLE FOR A FAIRER WORLD<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The battle for a fairer and happier world in which to live is a struggle\u2014peaceful and respecting the rights of others, but a struggle nonetheless\u2014in which, to achieve the best possible results, we must use every lawful means within our reach. Otherwise, it would probably fail, which would be harmful to humanity as a whole and to all sentient beings.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it is necessary to spread the messages on the main social networks and to as many WhatsApp contacts and groups as possible, as well as by word of mouth with people around us.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do so, we face two significant barriers:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A. I am too lazy to take a little of my time and energy to do it<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you want something, it comes at a cost. And it is more than worth it, because in the end we will have the great satisfaction of having done our part for a better world. Instead of standing by with our arms crossed, let us be proactive. Instead of being mere spectators who passively watch what others do, like someone watching television, let us be actors\u2014protagonists of history.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this cause is worth it. For it is nothing less than the cultural war between good and evil, between those who insist on maintaining abuses and harm to innocents and those who fight them. And, in the middle, the onlookers, who in reality are accomplices of the current unfair status quo. Do not wait and switch now to the side of the \u201cgood ones\u201d!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/never-support-injustice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read LIVE WITHOUT HARMING!

The first is that those who react badly are a very tiny minority (about 2%), and they can be removed from the distribution list.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the second, and most important, is that if on one side of the scale we place the immense suffering of TRILLIONS\u2014with a T\u2014of sentient beings that we are working to eliminate, and on the other side the annoyance that, exceptionally, some person might experience because they do not like a message, which way does the scale clearly tip?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/do-not-worry-about-bothering-others-with-your-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read AVOID HARM!
