When are we as human beings going to learn peace?

Probably never.  But to amuse you, we will find peace when we find life on other planets, when we find how the universe begins and how it ends.  Dude.... just smoke pot you'll be fine, or maybe not.

I don't think so.  Not indefinitely.  There are ways to put it off, but it will come sooner or later.  Look back in history.  It's always been here.  Why do we think we can stop it now?  Besides, it's in our nature from birth.  We fight for what we think is ours or the way things should be.  Be it the toy in the nursery when we're one or the seat at the lunch table when we're seven or eight, all the way up to the land we think should be ours as an adult.  Think of it like this.  If someone barged in to your home, started taking things that were yours and told you how you should act and live there, would you fight back?  Or would you be "peaceful" and let them have their way?

Sadly, I believe we probably will bring about the end of all things we know and love (or hate!). I think it's high time that we stop trying to "out-succeed" our fellow human beings and remember what life is truly about- treating others the way we ourselves want to be treated. I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY, WE, AS HUMAN BEINGS, WILL FINALLY LEARN TO LOVE, ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER-- and to realize that we are really all the same on the inside. Perpetuate the love! (By the way- I'm really not what others would consider "A tree-hugging hippie"! I just want people to spread more kindness & goodness around them.)

No. There will never be world peace. If there is ever world peace there will still be people that are repressed and in poverty. When people are repressed and in poverty they act out against those that arnt.

There would be peace and tolerance?

Because humankind has not grown up enough to resolve issues in a peaceful manner.

Unfortunately, there has always been war, and I have no reason to think that the world will ever be completely free from it.  There has never been complete world peace and I don't think there ever will be.  \n\nI'm not of the doom and gloom mentality, I'm just realistic.  And if you're the least bit religious, then you know that this world is corrupt and total peace will never exist here.

because there is a major lack of education, u can see that in all well educated countries, people are more civilized and thus more peaceful, in not so educated countries, leaders try to keep their power by feeding crap into everyone else's brains...i believe that until we provide good education to everyone, there will never be peace....and peace to me is internal satisfaction...

Be at peace with God and yourself.  This is the only peace you have any power to attain.\n\nThere may or may not be any other peace in this lifetime, but if you have peace with God and yourself, you can life amidst unrest and not be anxious.

Certainly not.\n\nForce can be used and will be used for everthing, by the people who can use it.\n\nto keep the "global order" we are used to see, there's need of total control over our lifes, and all the violence needed to exterminate de threats against that order.\n\nyou may think by now we must have learnt something from our deads, from our wars, from the results of our own cruelty.\nwell, i can see clearly all people talking about peace has been always, in all countries, killed.\n\nso, the only "effective way" is to have more exterminating power. \nand control. check this up: \nhttp://www.lanacion.com.ar/exterior/nota.asp?nota_id=855347&origen=ranking

Child of God, yes -- if we could all learn to think of each other with hearts filled with kindness, compassion, and understanding -- this world would be a much better place.\n\nDo I believe that WE can make that happen?  No.  Because evil and hatred are very real, and we can't defeat them by ourselves.\n\nIt doesn't mean, though, that we should give up trying.  Perhaps each of us can make "our little corner of the world" a little better by treating each other with courtesy and respect.  Peace !

The only way to achieve world peace is to completely annihilate basal human nature. Wars are fought over greed, jealousy, anger, bigotry, and lust. While it would be nice to imagine a world without these things, it'll never happen.

"We" cannot as there will never be consensus on issues such as war, religion etc\n\nThe best that "we" can hope for is to do our personal bit to make things better.\n\nPeace Out

Hi Grannywinkie - I agree with you about it being worth the wait for peace. You're a pretty smart lady, aren't you? But it is hard to find it in the world. I can honestly say that I have found it in prayer and in a relationship with God. Not to say that that a person has to live like a hermit or be a part of a strange sort of religion  - I think living with a prayerful heart only expands one's life and one's world. Everything seems to become brighter and bigger and more balanced.\n\n Ironically, it seems that we need to make a routine of closing out the world and its noise in order to find peace. And then, once that habit is formed, it becomes natural to be able to function with greater stability and happiness within that "noisy, confusing world", all with a deep serenity, and a sense of purpose and peace. And, it's nice to know that no matter how threatening everything gets, once we have locked into that inner strength, it can't be taken away. \n\nI don't think we have to wait for peace, in other words. I really believe it's available to anyone who is open and desires it enough...at anytime.

A discussion is a great idea.  We can learn from each other about the good and fruitful parts and ignore what is harmful. I have a Buddhist background but I respect others'\nbeliefs.  One day maybe we can open the "Church of all Faiths" where the services are alternatively Christian, Buddhist, Muslim,Jewish, Hindu, Atheist, Agnostic. I think we will find that we are human first and foremost. Why not?

Peace is always an option. If we have equal respect for all people and stop coveting other people's oil money, there can be peace. The US govt has made its share of mistakes and needs some correction.
