Nothing “Wrong” With You

If people feel better about themselves, chances are they will be a lot better members of society. And society improves as a result. Like so many ideas, it sounds simple. But it isn’t. I think most psychologists and psychiatrists and others who study the mind would agree that what we believe about ourselves affects our lives in huge ways. If we believe bad things, we begin to feel bad about ourselves, and this damages and limits us in just about everything we do: work, relationships, family relations, health, sexuality. That idea seems to be a generally accepted truth now. But what do we do with this knowledge?

That’s the question The Humanity Project is asking. We have at least one answer to offer: Let’s create a movement, a group of people, who all agree this is a big problem and who work to do something about it. Simply by focusing on this as an “issue” that affects, not just individual lives but society as a whole, we shine a spotlight on the problem. The Humanity Project also is a way to create a group of individuals who are committed to working on our own heads to feel better about ourselves – definitely NOT through sitting around worrying about our emotional problems, but by recognizing that we all just need to move beyond those problems and get on with our lives. We see this effort as a social responsibility. Because The Humanity Project says the only thing really “wrong” with any of us as individuals is that we feel that there is something “wrong” with us. That feeling creates powerful emotions that affect our lives, and the lives of those around us. Once we get past this belief and this feeling (and we each CAN get past these things …), it’s much easier to deal with the challenges and problems the outside world hands us. We hope you’ll want to join The Humanity Project and help us focus society’s attention on this problem. And help us figure out new and better ways to do something about changing it. We need your help!
