Hope?

Q: Is there any hope that the world or that mankind will find a way to live on this planet without destroying itself?

MM: Hope is in the mind. The mind and its root, is the cause of all greed. Greed leads to over-consumption, fear, war, waste, lack of compassion. The first thing to master and transcend is one's own mind. Forget hope and forget despair. Allow yourself to be in peace, and in not-knowing. Then your actions or your non-action will be natural and beneficial, whether on a small,  or on a large scale.
