Sage. Very sage. Of course to me, the smallest predators are ego and ignorance.

Do you believe it will be a reality? Is it possible? When?

You are correct.

We could only achieve world peace if there was only one human left alive, and even then it is not guaranteed.

That is another common view.

It kinda drives home the point that people believe that mankind are not capable of governing themselves.

Plus, I think this is a much more interesting topic than evolution.

World conditions are front and center, concern everyone and cannot be ignored.

There is either peace or there is not. No middle ground.

There is unrest. Unrest can exist without war. Unrest can appear as peace provided violence is not part of that unrest.

To my way of thinking, nothing is either totally one way or another. There is a practically infinite number of situations in between the extremes.

No world peace is possible until all societies join into a unified communal democracy.

Humans have the ability to make their own choices. Even in a world wide democracy that everyone abided by, how would you have peace? What if everyone voted to kill anyone they didn't like? Depending on your point of view, it could still be world peace even if they where all killing eachother by voting on it!

Sorry, but the word world peace is rubbish to me.
