Change focus 2

Where is the potential for improving the world? Is it in deceit or honesty?
Deceit is the traditional way, but was it very good? It was the best people at that time could come up with. So the old countries acted in a deceptive way towards the colonies, and within the old countries the capitalists tried to deceive the workers, and the workers tried to deceive the capitalists. In dictatorships the dictators tried to deceive the citizens. It was a constant struggle!
If we focus on artificial deception as a way to live we see problems. Problems get aggravated and tend to be insolvable. Bad decisions never stop to create problems.
Machiavelli is the person who described how the leader of the state should use deception in order to rule.
Machiavelli lived in Italy. His famous book The Prince was published in 1513. Since then the world has changed. But has the minds of people changed?
There is a critical point in mind development, where a change from deception to honesty takes place. In a dull mind, it is impossible to see the difference between deception and honesty. But when the energy level has risen above the critical point, honesty is recognized and deceit is given a very negative value.
More and more individuals pass this point, and the speed of progress is very fast in big countries like China, India, Brazil, Indonesia as it already has been in smaller countries as Taiwan and Vietnam.
