World peace will never, ever happen. Too many of us love conflict too much, and I assure you we will see an apocalypse before everybody starts being all civil-like to each other. And yeah, part of it is instinct, while others simply like giving others a hard time, which in turn makes those people bitter and mean as well. It's a vicious cycle. Plus violence is funny.

Cycle of hatreds.. It's an eternal curse that casted upon us ever since humans reigns over this world.. and I don't think it can be ended before the world ended all humans and living being..

most logical thing i can think of is what my History Prof. told me "Conflict Induces War, War Induces Weapons, Weapons Induces Money, Money Induces Greed and Greed Induces Conflict, no matter how hard you try to uphold peace as long as this cycle is around Wars and Conflict can never be solved"
and i simplified it to this
"As long as the Humans live, peace can never be achieved"

This thread is a lot like the other one about appreciating other peoples beliefs though. If you want a more in depth answer there have been some good posts on the subject in there.

[size=10]Lol at the third option of the poll. It was amusing.
Anyway... as pointed out, it won't happen. Peace does exist, or at least the idea of peace does. But peace existing, worldwide? Nah, that'll never happen. I mean, countries are always in conflict. Heck, take something smaller like a family. Within the average household, there is rarely peace (long lasting peace). So if it can't be found in an area as small as a home, how can we have it all over? Impossible.. sorta.[/h]

nothing bands people together like a foreign threat. all we need is some extraterrestrial invasion and we d have world peace. probably only for short since we d be most likely overrun within the year.

is not that peace is impossible(although it looks like it, i agreed my self) but if you look at it in another way, there are small town all over the world that exist with "peace" among it's border. its people like those who continue to say "peace is impossible" or whatever way u want to put it that makes it impossible. if every man said its impossible to travel to the moon, we wouldn't have try. now look at were we are, i bet no one knew that NASA just shot another rocket out of space last week, i just so happen to that chanle and i spend a good 10 sec on it hahaha. its only impossible if you tell your self it is impossible

Check the appreciating other people's beliefs thread.
Also, general dislike => hatred => some division => some clashes => war => defeat of one side => general dislike.
That is the general cycle of why "we can't be friends."

The only way to peace is humans having to rally against some greater threat we can't inroge. Look at the watchman I think thats the best example.
But seeing as that most likly wont happen I wouldn't count on world peace.

There can never be complete world peace. Why? Because it's in human nature to fight amongst ourselves.

@AJ27: I think you mean it's in human nature to survive. Fighting comes out of overpopulation and rising living standards. Humans are on a whole a communal society, and while we fight as much as there are stars in the sky, I don't think humans fight because we want to, but it stems from a will to survive and the conditions we surround ourselves with.
@discordia: did you read Ender and Bean series by Orson Scott Card? because I swear I was thinking along the same lines that the only way we'll get peace is if something threatens mankind's existence as whole, like a foreign threat originating from the universe.

It's possible enough. I regularly interact with people I don't like but manage to be civil and get used to them. Even when I lose sleep sometimes cuz of them.
I have to admit it's interesting at how narrow minded some people can be. XD
It makes me go take a second, and go whoa.

world peace is never[b] going to happen. there's too much controversy and hatred. for there to be world peace, all radicals would have to be killed, only one religion could exist, etc. (things that will NEVER happen)

There are certainly individuals open minded enough to not hate, and get along with anyone. But I don't think humans as a whole will ever completely be united, or at least we will not accomplish it on our own.
Like it has been mentioned in this thread already, the only chance I see the human race in complete peace and unity is if we make it into space and meet another race, be it peaceful or hostile. Then maybe, just maybe, we will see ourselves as from planet Earth and not "this country" or "that area of the planet". Even then, I have my doubts, but nothing would make me happier than to see world peace.

People's biggest fear is death, or pain, no one wants any of those things, which fear lies in difference or change, because if people meet or find something new or different from something their comfort zone or anything they know that cannot harm them, they will see it as a potential threat. I myself think I'm open to foreign people and cultures, i see nothing wrong, or weird within them. But I'm pretty sure total world peace is far ever happening in world, just like some people have posted in this thread, people are different and instinctively in competition to survive or be the best so they can(back to my point) won't be potentially dead by something else.

There is only temporary peace in this world. Each human has their own set of desires and when these desires of theirs coincides with that of another, conflict ensues. And since it is impossible for everyone to have a common aim that holds higher priority than all their other desires ( i.e alien invasion < wtf ), it is quite unlikely for there to ever be peace.

yeah, the world peace is hardly ever happen, why? because we are circled in many beliefs, culture, and personal identity (personality)...
can you imagine how people will be united when their inner self was different from anyone else? we,humans, lack the power to do such thing...
even if we tried, there will be someone from any countries that would make conflict and chaos among us, yet the conflict was vastly spread into groups and then nations...
that's completely unavoidable, unfortunately...

Well this is my take. As long as humanity exists, there will always be battles. Humans will never live together without some sort of conflict. It would be, "If you disagree with me, then I hate you." kind of mentality. The idea of world peace is far from achievable as the world stand today. because the factors that contribute to further world peace are religious beliefs, racism, terrorism, who knows what else contributes. This is just how I see it and as far as I'm concerned, total peace will never be achieved any time soon.
