It means having a worldview that influences you in a way that affects you or other people, sometimes in a indirect way, or the person who is being affected could think that is good for them. One example: the suicidal terrorists; they feel proud of dying, while other people think they are crazy, and they affect other people, but they think they are doing the right thing (this is also a example of how our worldview can affect our behavior).
Do you think everyone has a worldview?
I think that everyone has a worldview, even when they don't know it, because every person has a different way to see things. Perhaps we don't realize it is there because we are used to it.
If you behave in a "good" way, that will benefit the World, improve the World and make you happy.
So, why doesn't everyone behave in a "good way"?
Not everybody has the same perception of good and bad; what I see as bad could be seen as good or perfect for other people. Many people think they are improving the World by doing things I find crazy or horrible, but everyone has a different idea of what a "Perfect World" would be, and how they could reach it. Other thing to think about, is that doing the "right" or "good" thing, even when we have a clear idea of what would it be for us, is not always the easier option, and we end doing something we know we shouldn't be doing.
