Once you see reality as the illusion it is, it is far easier to lay back and relax, or play along in your part. And that means finally putting yourself first, and working to make the world a better place just like you have always wanted.
Unfortunately there are also those who cannot see the bigger reality, and they work from the view that this world isn't big enough for all of us, which leads them to wanting to reduce the human population probably because they feel the world can't sustain all of us. But of course they will target others for elimination, and not themselves...
