Actually I believe the main problem with humanity is that we care more about what others think and less about what we ourselves think.

Yes, beautifully said.
What if we are actually selecting what to believe, (which is what creates and shapes what we ourselves think) based upon how that may alter how others treat us?
If, as you say, we focus on the quality of our own thoughts with less consideration for how others see us.
Would this free us to have more consideration for the actual consequences of our actions?
Might we slow down on collecting and selecting beliefs, and just do stuff with more skill and grace?
This is why I like to view wisdom and curiosity as an Action, that is allowed to flow and be updated, rather than a set of rigid rules to be applied for control or filtering.
Of course language is rather limited for building such fluid and temporary structures - moving pictures are wonderful but so slow to create.
Thank you for your insight anishag
