A friend introduced me some years ago to a creative work of Buckminster Fuller, American neo-futuristic architect, systems theorist, author, designer, and inventor. Probably he is best known for his promotion of the geodesic dome. He told the story how during a period of deep depression and suicidal thoughts he had an epiphany. He ultimately chose to embark on “an experiment, to find what a single individual [could] contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity.”

This quote on the left and below show is ‘common sense’ approach to life: “It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than have even known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is obsolete and is unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting the high technology from weaponry to livingry.”
