In our world today, a scarcity of fossil fuels and drinking water is becoming increasingly evident. Global warming is now part of our everyday vocabulary. People are living longer with fewer young people to support them. Job creation has not kept pace with population growth. Because of technological developments, more and more people are jobless. Violence is our next-door neighbor, wherever we live. We are at war with our planet and with ourselves. The twenty-first century seems to be a century where haves and have-nots, young and old, and humans and the rest of the earth will have to find ways to coexist peacefully. The key to solving most of our problems is to change our approach to these problems. It is a fact that we are all, by nature, biased. People tend to think of themselves as either the center of the world or part of the herd. The roots of bias lie within our biology and in the distinction between self and non-self. Equipped with a clear understanding of bias, we can begin making a decisive change. Bias, which forms the basis of our everyday existence amid the rat-race, when understood better by more people, could cease to be a threat and almost become a cause for entertainment.
