Answer 1

George Bush

Answer 2

I prefer to look at the world and ask "What is right with it?" It depends on your experience of it and your outlook. I used to detest it when someone would say, “The world is what you make of it.” Now I think they were on to something.

Everything in Life has an opposite polarity. For every perceived “good” there is a perceived “bad” or vice versa . Maybe it is so we can tell the difference. You can’t have beauty without ugly, for example…but if you take a closer look at it…who gets to say what is beautiful and what is ugly? It is in the eye of the beholder…and this should give you an idea of how to view the world.

Everyone and everything has a purpose…including the perceived monsters of the world. Perhaps it is just another way for us to ennoble our spirits…to right some wrongs, and to challenge our fundamental beliefs. The world as a whole is subject to mass consciousness. When you lift your own thoughts of it or do something to better it; it will automatically lift another…and another, so on and so forth. It has an undeniable trickle affect.

Money, power, greed, and overwhelming evidence of corruption is present no matter where we look. It often involves territorial superiority and/or gains. Everyone has a need to be right and will seldom admit a wrong. All issues have two points of view; each party believing their view is the correct one.

Can we afford to sit back and allow atrocities to be performed with a blind eye or deaf ear? No. We all interconnected. What affects one part of the world will affect all of us eventually. As long as fallible human beings are in power; we will have conflict. No one person contains all the answers. It is the way we are designed.

Our solutions must come from the masses, not leadership. It will require many points of view, united in one common global goal, to eradicate unnecessary suffering in all parts of the world thereby eliminating or reducing conflict.

Answer 3

There is one main factor prevalent everywhere, including here by other answerers. The inability, or down right refusal, to see the other side's position without emotional attachment, stereotyping, or personal attacks. Until people are comfortable enough with themselves and others to actually listen to what is being said and put away personal agendas and vendettas, conflicts will continue. All the reasons listed here by other answerers are just 'hot button issues'. They aren't the reasons for the conflicts, they are the excuses. They are our justifications for not trying to see eye to eye. Everyone likes to think they are right, so they just don't talk to those that are wrong. Never mind, that since Everyone is right, No one is wrong............. of course, I wouldn't listen to me, I've been told I'm always wrong.

ADDENDUM: To those spouting Male Ego, I would like to point out that there have been wars just as bloody if not bloodier in Matriarchal Societies! So don't blame Men, and maybe they'll stop telling us it's "your time of the month"
