When there's so much conflicts and contradictions among humans, achieving world peace is a myth. Here, we have 1 person believing 1 thing is right and another person believing the opposite - muslim vs jew, capitalism vs communism, white vs black, rich vs poor, etc that give rise to unequal wealth distribution, gender inequality, religious conflicts, political oppositions, family discords, etc. Humans always fight against everything that is different, it doesn't necessarily be restricted to just skin color and religion but also personal beliefs, interests, way of living, and even level of success. People get beaten up and killed out of various reason like jealousy, greed, hatred, etc. To suggest tolerance is not a way out. How can a muslim tolerant a buddhist if he/she doesn't even believe buddhism is good, for example? What about acceptance? But can we actually do that, honestly? Can a jew let go of his/her religion and join sikhism as a gesture of acceptance? Or be a dual-believer?
