There are some events in the world that leave ordinary people numb (and enraged) in astonishment. It makes you wonder about the inhumanity of cultures, religions, and ultimately the capacity of humans to deceive themselves - possibly for some promise of heaven. And it makes you glad to be "ordinary"

...the mankind needs to think like a unity...

Well, I would agree with that Nazli.
How have you been - very busy?
I am right there with you on how terrible this world has become. I not one of those people who sees the cup half empty rather than half full, but I see nothing that makes me proud to be a human being.
Religion, lies, control, and the desire for a one world government is the way we have to live now.
How sad for our humanity.
Bewilderment takes place every day.
Beware them wolfs.
You would think humanity, having removed the principle reason we have found to kill one another; rejecting a supposititious belief type thinking which advocated sacrifice, we would have then developed sufficiently in ethics and spiritual experience not to want to harm others. However better understanding how a belief system works within the brain may hold the key. It is thought the brain may be influenced by a belief system in the same way as rely on numbers to solve mathematical problems.
The key maybe is to make the link between ethics and spirituality which are the very essence about what can be good about humanity, rather than relying on a rigid belief system which lead to instinctive, at times highly irrational behaviour. That irrational response is attractive to others engaged within a similar belief system.

I must have left a comment before, or else my Alzheimer's has become real bad ...
I don’t have the answer. Ordinary positive response to life, as you identify tends to favour virtue and is lubricated and reinforced by our positive emotions, but sitting alongside our central nervous system, are emotions of fear and anger ready to override the rational (consciousness) and revert to instinctive survival responses.
Religion and or culture can be used in this corruptive manner to engender non rational responses, ones that are determinable only in an atmosphere of fear.
But overall I think the human spirit is within all of us and cannot be conquered, only temporarily diverted and corrupted in the struggles for existence.
Wishing you a joyous Christmas
