The answer is unfortunately that we are wired for conflict. Resources, pride, and religion combine to create conflicts that last for centuries. While it's possible to have periods of peace, it's unlikely to last long. Someone will gain power and someone else will want it and it will be the followers of these people who will pay the price.

Quite simply, everyone is unique and different, with different beliefs that include politics, religion, and taste. All these differences make it very difficult, if not impossible, to establish peace. In fact, there are many who live to have another argument and say "peace" is boring! Besides, don't forget that "war" is a big business and a huge part of our economy would collapse if there were true peace.

I wish that this could be true. I think that our differences and man's inherent inability to accept someone who is different fuels the conflict in the world and in our everyday lives. On the other hand could we handle a totally Utopian world with no conflict. Would this be too boring? The eternal question - Why can't everyone live in peace?

because the world as we know it belongs to the devil. he was cast out of heaven by God many eons ago and has been roaming around ever since. he causes death and destruction and is the father of lies. we need to adhere to the teachings of God in order to live a life free of the devils treachery. there is a better place we are going where there will be eternal peace. but we need to do what we can here to fight the devils power in order to find inner peace and enjoy our lives here .before we leave this place.

Because some people want to have some sort of controversy in their life which makes it interesting. I wish there was peace.

Because people aren't perfect. We are born with sin and will die with the sin of the flesh. That is why Jesus Christ had to die for our sins.
There has never been peace on Earth and never will be. I am sorry, but it is true.

John 10:10 says The thief (devil) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come (Jesus) that you may have life, and have it more abundantly. Abundantly in this text means extreme.
Jesus IS LOVE, that's his very nature. We were conceived in sin because of Adam & Eve sinning in the garden and giving dominon over to the devil ( Genesis chapter 3). God gave us dominon over the earth.( Genesis 1:28) Your answer is in Genesis chapter 1 thru chapter 4:15.

Initially it was because humans competed for the same resources. Now there are many reasons, from religion to ideology to insanity. It's the nature of man to make war on his brother.
