Throughout history, there have been societies established on the principle that the good of the society is more important than the good of the individual. Inevitably, these societies have failed, with the greatest of all being the eventual demise of the Soviet Union, whose system was based on the abolition of private property and the imposition of institutionalised solidarity. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains to us why these utopian societies are doomed. Each of them has attempted to impose altruistic behaviour on its members, but Kabbalah tells us that our inherent nature is to operate based on self-interest. As a result, the individuals in these societies grow more and more dissatisfied as they operate against their nature. And inevitably, some in the society begin to take more than others, whether it is of physical goods or of power. The dichotomy between ideals and reality will eventually destroy the system.

According to Kabbalah, the only way to make a lasting change where the members of the society will all feel fulfilled and satisfied is to change our very nature. Kabbalah provides a methodology for us to experience the reality that we are one universal human soul. When people understand this simple truth, then it becomes obvious that taking care of others is really the same as taking care of yourself. There will be no need to force people into giving and sharing. This will be their inherent nature, and the society will flourish. The crises facing the world today will disappear as over-consumption and exploitation become ancient history. The world will be in harmony.
