The question before us here is whether this injunction in the title of this post is valid and consistent with universal lawfulness. Certainly we, as a species, can evoke such a principled passion, inclusive of intellectual and emotionally artistic capacities, to undertake this mission. This is now beyond mere conjecture.
Yet we instead, childishly, insist upon dealing with our rather miniscule grievances and animosities in the very face of such a vast purpose as somehow taking precedence. Isn't that rather irreverent folly? Why should we expend any more effort attempting illusory control over the fancied lifeboats called nations on this pale blue dot?
Each of us has embedded within our consciousness the tools to prove this ineluctable truth. Which is to say that our existence, as we know it, is purely potential for humanity to overcome whatever problems we face. And therefore an ultimately ongoing good. On the other hand, the forever unknown state, if it be that, of non existence, if not the opposite of good is not worthy of wringing our collective hands over. Thus, we can only not acknowledge a universal good of continuing creation in our relationship as a species with the harmony of universal development through a sheer perversity of will.
So, we can sing with Beethoven in his last great string quartet the tune of "It Must Be" as a paean to immortality and a fugue of coeternal harmonic human universal development:
