Can the people of the world live in peace with each other or is conflict inevitable?

MEL T

Conflict is human nature. If you don't believe in the current fight you start eating each other. Sometimes I'm a bit of a pessimist though. lol

Conflict is inevitable - there can be no peace. Conflict is part of life, to remove it is to destroy life.

No they can not there will always be some sort of conflict or war going on.

Conflict is inevitable because civilization is jealous, greedy, and cut throat. We put our values and morals in the hands of the government and God. Humanity will be destroyed unless people start really finding out where their help is needed. Helping doesn't cost anything...its just a matter of being aware of what needs to be fixed HERE in America...where we live. Self reliant...not other civilizations. America is a melting pot yet, but when will the people of America start being independent as a nation? Never?? Destruction is inevitable then. Great.

I too believe it is a natural confliction that we can not out grow, out live, or out evolve. there is always going to be those who want to fight verses those who want peace. That does not make it right though. Of course then if every one was polite and kind opening doors all day kind of guy would be stuck opening the door for everyone. My point is sometimes we fight becuase we have no way of being polite and getting our way at the same time. Say someone wants the last applepie at the store, then another would want it too right? So they talk politely all day long saying the other can have it. Instead of saying why they want it and why they deserve it. It's a weird analogy but whatever works, We have to have conflict in our life I wish it wasn't in the means of war and killing but sometimes we got to do what we got to do.

No matter how many utopian dreamers 'visualize' world peace in their meditations there will still be conflict.
more to the point is....CAN WE REDUCE the frequency of and level of conflict.
It is possible to settle scores and reach some level of peace thru diplomacy

Conflict has been happening since the dawn of time and will continue. Most people are normal and just want to get along, but the few who want conflict really screw the place up.

no, people are by nature greedy and self centered, wanting thier way over that of others or society itself.

people can but religions wont allow it

Folks have probably been fighting since day one, and they don't show any signs of stopping just yet!

Intra-species conflict is not part of the natural order of life. And yes, we should contain conflict.

To put it coarsely, our nature is to live, to thrive, and to propagate. As such, we need an environment conducive to this nature. Does conflict serve our nature? Absolutely not. Conflict wastes productive resources through the production of offensive and defensive instruments. Conflict robs society of its most productive members, as young men and women are those brought into the conflicts. And conflict upsets the order of society, the foundation of liberty, through the use of violence. This is not to say that force is anathema to our nature, but it is only necessary for defensive or remedial purposes such that order can be restored.

There will always be people who defraud others, or the greedy, the slanderers, the thieves, so how do you expect people to live in peace with one another, as long as they do not keep the commandment. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Would that be such a bad thing?

In essence i will agree but we must remember that there are other facts like fear, based on our general conditioning we act on fear or love.of which could influence our behavior,depending what rules the heart...must say conflict is not a table for negotiation if we want to live long ..good point thow..

I couldn't agree more. It almost seems to me that we have reached a point of no return, and an all out nuclear world war 3 is now inevitable.

Is it conflict or injustice that leads to conflict.

Remember the story of Cain and Able...the brother with less, killed the brother with more...thats our genetic background.

We fail to realize that the rich are good, if they give to the real poor...in fact the real poor can make the rich richer...and that is the circle that the materialistic world must learn...
