In the New Testament, Jesus remind his followers to love their neighbors as they love themselves, and that is humane, kindly wise advise.
The problem is this: people are born depraved, born with low self-esteem, coerced by genes and social pressure to group-live (a mode that makes their self-loathigng skyrocket) and are doomed by the same genes and social pressure to lead quiet lives of nonindividuation. To top it off, Lera runs this world.
With all these oppressive factors weighing down the average adult, it is no wonder that each adult hates herself. When she hates herself, she abuses herself. After abusing herself, she will love her neighbor as she has not loved her self, abusing and attacking the neighbor whose low self-esteem will plummet farther, until he displaces his self-loathing sadistically onto a new target.
If the Good Spirits can help us take over this world, and instruct adults to maverize and individual-live, then people will better love themselves, and then be kind and gentle with their neighbors, loving them as they have learned to love themselves.
