In the belief system of each one the value that has an immense power in the collective conscience is the respect, to the opinions of others, to the elders, to their own parents, to the neighbors, it is a value which must be in our belief systems, it has an incalculable value; this gives rise to a better interrelation in the environment where each one develops.
Just as the belief system is important, to strengthen the collective conscience is necessary from my being respecting myself in my thoughts towards others, each one chooses his way of handling himself in groups, the best way to do it is with our way of acting in the environment, if there is something that irritates breathe deeply without making judgments, because the collective conscience is born from the individual conscience (perception) that inner being that many times we do not stop to observe, always letting ourselves be carried away by the collective (the good, the bad), I think that is where the work should begin, from the individual to the collective. To strengthen relationships, collective bonds.
Already at this level we know that consciousness has to do with good and evil, morality and ethics. When we speak of collective Peace, if the human being does not have Peace or does not feel at Peace, he cannot give what he does not possess. Respect is the most important part although a person with limitations in his individual formation, without recognizing himself as an individual human being, who thinks, acts, his inner being must be regulated towards his way of perceiving the world.
From there to intervene or collaborate in social problems that for one reason or another exist, education in standards, rules and regulations is necessary, that there is knowledge and before acting look at it with a different way of how to act, seek advice not to turn a small situation to make it big that then that conflict is more difficult to regulate.
I think that from the individuality the conscience is very important, the perception of each individual has much to do in how to find solutions to collective challenges, is to achieve from their perspective to find healthy solutions that in one way or another benefits the whole.
Therefore, to speak of empathy and compassion, first the individual must work on himself to be able to take it to the collective. Compassion is born when the individual works on self-compassion to be able to do it with others.
