Do you think there could be peace in the world?

I think there can be. I'm a believer that there could be peace. It's understandable if people don't think so but since the world is messed up it could be cleaned up. Do you think there could be peace in the world? What would you do to bring peace? If you think there can't be peace do you think there could be low rate of violence?

I think the form and consequences of conflict can be brought under control to reduce the amount of retaliation leading to death and destruction.... but peace in the sense of some kind of utopia is just not possible, nor really desirable.

The physics of nature are that of cycles and conflict. The reason our planet is livable is because of turbulence in the atmosphere. Because the surface and atmosphere of the planet receive uneven heating, this causes stark differences in barometric pressures, humidity, temperature, etc. The unavoidable consequence of this is thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes - etc. Violent and destructive things.

However... when one looks at the atmospheres of other planets - those further from the sun see higher average wind speeds. By the time you get to Jupiter - even if a planet could somehow have a nitrogen atmosphere resembling our own (with some kind of liquid/gas substitute similar to water that wouldn't freeze) - you would be looking at straight-line winds well over 100 mph being the average 'breeze.'

Because there is so little turbulence in the atmosphere of those planets, what little energy is imparted to them by the sun gets more uniformly distributed and allows for average wind speeds to get radically higher than they will ever get on our own planet.

Understandably, we cannot live in such an environment (nor anything we identify with as complex life).

The turbulence allows for pockets of relative (but temporary) stability. The trade-off is conflict - but without thunderstorms, we would have no ozone layer. Many of the inner regions of continents would not see substantial rainfall. The list goes on.

So, I question the notion that elimination of conflict, war, etc is really all that wise of a goal. Sure - one does not want to commit hastily to destructive conflict... but without conflict - there would be little in the way of creation. If people were not hungry - there would be little reason to develop farming. If there were little reason to develop farming - there'd be no reason to settle down in organized camps. We'd still be hunter-gatherers chasing game across the land.

Conflict is not expressly a bad thing. The problem is that too few people have a solid grasp of the way the world works and the forces influencing their behavior. They react irrationally and on the instincts of our animal minds rather than with the cognitive powers granted to them by our heritage.

Sure - there will still be wars - there will still be murders... but you could greatly reduce the incidence and necessity of either, and also have a society that handled conflict far better than current societies do (which tend to respond almost purely destructively and will literally blast themselves back to the stone age because they didn't manage their instincts properly).

its against human nature for there to be peace

humans are not meant to be happy

i will make a moon's eye plan :hypertobi:

 

[abodi mohi]

someday maybe but in this generation , don't think so

 

[-Punk-]

That's a nice fairy tail , but the human race will be it's own demise .

 

[Jonesy161]

if a powerful external threat were to appear, humanity would cease its wars and unite.

Who is to say that will last...? Look at Hitler for example. After WW2, there were a few short years of peace before trust broke down again between nations.

 

[Kαmi]

Peace and Chaos is inevitable. One can not survive without the other. To speak of peace means to speak of chaos. It is complicated to be one sided. Science analysis and the psychological mindset of humans cannot calculate the rate to rise and lower the two as if on a scale. They are equal.

Peace is somewhat unachievable. Peace is chaos. Chaos iz peace. When one is there, we all want he other.

These two are spot on with this.

if a powerful external threat were to appear, humanity would cease its wars and unite.

Sounds like we need a Lelouch Vi Brittania!

WHen that Happens..Either Only Animals Would exist..

[silmarill]

No its impossible, simple as that.
Also by peace u mean nations that stop warring against eachother? that would be a limited view , there will always be individuals who would have conflicts with others, u can't banish these basic human emotions.

 

[JIRAIYA perv]

noble idea (a good mentality to go out there and do good) but it's kinda BS.

when you deal with human beings, you will see conflict (for a million reason), greed and such .................... there is no such thing as "true peace" *end of the story* (actually that would be dull if you ask me, not very human).

 

[Zatanna]

It certainly is a possibility.

How ever, highly unlikely. There are a few options on which way it can go, but the unfortunate trutgh is that not everyone will conform, which is what the heart of the matter is.

You think about how many different religions, and groups and organizations there are. Someone will always be vying for power and for control. Thats the first problem.
Second is that you cant control peoples beliefs or mind. UNless there is total mind control, there will always be different opinioins. Now depending on how strong these beliefs are, determins the course of action. ofcourse there are those that peacefully talk, but then there is the other end of the scale that use force.

I could go on, but this is a very good topic for discussion as at the heart its truely about whether man is good or bad.

Believe it or not, we're all living in a time of great peace, the problem is one's peace is always another's hell. If there is another WW, everyone will die, nuclear destruction would rot the planet. The fear of this keeps everyone in line, and it is a fear that doesn't compromise our freedom, that is peace. Now those who oppose that peace are radicals, to them our or others way of life is so sickening they would rather die than see it continue without a hitch. Realistically do China or Russia like the U.S. or wish we were as powerful as we are? Of course not, but do think all the leaders of their country are crazy enough to start a nuclear war over it? The answer again is a gigantic NO, superpowers want to remain "super" and more importantly the leaders of these said countries want to stay alive in comfort.

Serious problems arise only when radicals( NK, majority of the ME, etc) decide to cause such issues, or at the very least escalate them. That's what peace is, a resounding fear of endless death while maintaining your freedoms. To equate it all back to Naruto, let's look at the peace they are striving to obtain. Will there be a consensus opinion regarding every matter between villages? No, there will always be problems but the civilized Shinobi World is done solving them by simply employing a cycle of killing and war. They have grown tired/fear of seeing loved one after loved die and have banded together to rid the world of an evil.

That evil is the ideals of Obito, Madara, and to a lesser extent Sasuke, they all want to crush the world down in some way to bow to their "peace". Freedom is taken away in their version of peace, which negates the notion all together. Sasuke wants powers(TB) that threaten peace to be destroyed, his thinking is much in line with Danzo's, but he also believes he needs to be the one to accomplish it. While this notion is the most sane of the three, it also is extremely flawed thinking . If you crush every single threat to your "peace" that pops up, all you are doing is trying to dominate the world and continuing the cycle of violence. Obito doesn't even want to exist, he want's to rob everyone of their most cherished gift, life itself. A real life where terrible things happen, but so do good, a world where mistakes and atrocities occur but so do miracles, in other words reality. It kills me to think of how much pain he must have experienced to want to live in the world he desires, but that pain has morphed him into a face of true evil. Madara simply seeks to have control of the world imo, his pain is not as great as Obito's, but his lust for Omnipotence is far greater.

Obito and Madara's way of thinking falls much in line with a Communist belief system, and there is a reason why the evils of Communism have been hunted for eradication so vehemently throughout history. It's simply you lose freedoms, even in Socialism you lose freedoms, that's why it is opposed so furiously by it's detractors. No matter how great a system sounds where everyone is equal, taken care of, and happy. It is impossible to achieve without destroying basic human rights, rights that while unequal or unfair to some are in fact fair because we're all different. As humans we're born with different minds, physical capabilities, of different race, creed, ***, religion, and orientation. Trying to crush down the right to pursue our different paths to become "equal", is trying to crush down our humanity itself. Capitalism has its flaws as no system is perfect, but it is the only system that can allow the birthright freedoms humans possess to remain. Socialists also believe their system is just, but no matter what in socialist societies you give up freedoms that you shouldn't have to. Enemies of Capitalism will point to the "Evil" it can produce, but that is the evil of reality and one that must be accepted if you wish to live in it. No system will ever be perfect, nor should anyone expect it to be, expecting perfection in anything pertaining to humans is a path to insanity. We are imperfect beings which makes our life's so real and beautiful, imperfection leads to individuality and individualism is what defines our existence.

Peace is important very important, but not as important as freedom, as you can see by the Shinobi Alliance's will to keep fighting. Hail to Freedom, those who pursue it, those who possess it, and mercy to the soul of those who desire to crush it.

i'm not sure if there will be peace in the future, but i can tell you that we don't have peace now because the majority of the world doesn't want peace. the truth is most of the world eagrly waits and plans the next world war, we don't have peace because has a majority we don't want peace.

 

[The Work]

Nope our humanity has no chance to ever have peace

Even if we did have to worry about some alien or zombie apocalypse

There will still be people doing crazy and unethical things

 

[Tipsyglam]

humanity of today is disgrace. I can't barely imagine how will the world looks like after 20 years.

 

[Nous]

Not under normal conditions. I guess if we find a single threat, humanity will unite but that's not even peace since we will unite to combat the threat so.. We could potentially create a world with no war, but we can't make a world with peace.

 

[Vegeta]

If mankind would get out of it's own way, stop bickering over who's god is bigger, than yes. Compassion is needed.

 

[Jin Hayami]

if a powerful external threat were to appear, humanity would cease its wars and unite.

Just like Enders Game. KILL THE BUGGERS!!!

 

[Hunty]

I like this chaotic world we live in. It makes being mortal a little more fun and interesting.

I don't like peace.
