Considering that humans are always thinking only of themselves, do you think peace on earth is achievable.

No because the desires of human beings make them inherently flawed and their creations flawed. It is in man's nature to fight among himself, but perhaps that can change when technology is expaned where philosophy does not exist.

It depends on our definition of peace - or to be more accurate - on our concept of peace. As all human concepts are relevant, the concept of peace should not be an exception. Therefore, to answer you question I must ask what kind of peace appeals to you? Is it the same that appeals to all creatures on this earth? Of course not. Each living organism has its special conditions and needs to be able to say "we live in peace". And given survival as an ultimate goal for a living creature, those conditions and needs are going to clash and a conflict of interest will make several types of conflicting peace(s), so to speak, inevitable and a must. Therefore, there will be no real peace on earth even if all nations agreed to one concept, which is impossible under the circumstances. This is so because somebody will come out of nowhere one day and ask: "What about the animals and plants you are killing for your survival? Do they live in peace on earth or "rest" in peace?

Depends on the person. If someone thinks that true peace is just being with someone that they love, then yes. But if that person thinks that true peace is so much more then that, then it might not be achievable. It is all whats in your head.

Yes, it will be peace on Earth, once the wrath of the Creator turns the world upside down and inside out only for the minds of those people who think "money" is their God.

Thinking what is possible is more important than thinking about what is impossible. A world united can not be divided. For every disease there must be a cure. The first disease and the most powerful one must be conquered first - Ignorance. It breeds like a social cancer. Ponder a world free of ignorance and you have a future full of hope, and grand possibilities.

Yes, Peace is on the earth.....
If you want peace for one day then drink wine;
If you want peace for three days then get married:
If you want peace for seven days then travel;
If you peace forever then know yourself.
