Irrelevancy 2

The situation in the world is probably better now than it used to be - few wars, more food for more people, more education, better health - but it is not good enough. The old illness is still around, even if it is not as dominant as it used to be. The illness is irrelevancy.
Irrelevancy is anything that is not relevant for our good life and our existential task.
There is a spontaneous irrelevancy in our brain, which has a weakness for irrelevant reactions. For teachers tricks and skill are needed to make the pupils interested - left to themselves irrelevant reactions take place for many human beings.
The society might be a bit better than the individuals, but nevertheless many societies are governed by irrelevancy. Dictatorship is the worst, but also democracies have their share of irrelevancy in the form of prejudices and traditions.
However, there are many individuals who want to do what they can do in order to make the world a better place. Imagine that such a person works for the secret services. What would be the best thing to do?
Would it be to increase irrelevancy, haunt, disturb and destruct the life of others? That is the tradition.
If we know that the basic problem is irrelevancy, we also know that this can be healed. And there is  tremendous healing power in relevancy itself. Once it has been introduced, it stays. Peace is better than war. Health is better than illness. Abundance is better than poverty.
So what should our imagined person do? The best thing that could happen would be to teach the leading echelons in the secret services - on all of these innumerable levels and offices - about the secret of life: relevancy.
