War (or lack of peace) does not exist because humans like to fight. The root of war is justice. For most of human life, war existed to take from others what we wanted for ourselves: land, power, opportunity. Survival was dependant on war.
In the present day, war occurs when we decide that intervention is required. When we say; we are not going to take it anymore.
If you choose peace, then you must be willing to let others be wrong. You must be able to pick up the pieces of your life and walk away, no matter what was done to you. That is peace. If you are the kind of person who cannot let someone "get away with" hurting you, then you are the obstacle to peace.
War exists because we don't want to lie down. We want to keep what is ours.

Think that the nature of all animals is fight, defeat others, but that it's an instinct.
The humans are thinking more than 50 years ago, so in a couple of centuries, the human will live in peace

I am not sure if its human nature to fight and kill, but it is human nature to seek power, control and territory.
Fighting and killing are TOOLS used to satisfy the need for power, control, and possession of territory.
And there is much manipulation used by our leaders to justify the use of fighting and killing. As Michael Moore so clearly showed in Fahrenheit 911, the sons and daighters of congress people and senators aren't signing up for the military. If they so believe in the use of force, why is that?

that's conceivable to create this sort of worldwide if it wasn't in step with opposition. in the international, animals, plant life, each and every thing competes for territory, mating rights, nesting place, and maximum critically, nutrition. we additionally are animals. that's no insult, you need to hunt for the stern definition of the interest. And if i'm able to declare a tiger or an eagle is a fellow animal, i could be proud to realize this. the place we human beings variety nevertheless, is thru all this opposition, the creatures of this planet gain an environmental equilibrium with one yet another. We human beings do no longer. there is yet another organism in the international that mimics human habit. i will leave you in suspense and enable you to wager what that's.

I have a theory-people, especially men, eat way too much meat and don't have appropriate outlets for their stress. It is perpetuated by all of the violent T.V. and video games. If people ate a more balanced diet and could find ways to deal with stress that is healthy, then they would start to notice all of the beauty in the world, all of the positive reasons to live a peaceful life.

AHHH, another dreamer. I dream of the human race living in peace. Unfortunately, people have different opinions, different opinions leads to conflict, conflict leads to hate, etc...... Well actually I think, maybe people should have thier own opinions, they are entitled to it. But I also think, people should respect others opinions and not have conflict and hate. Today I asked questions and I was angry at others opinions, but when I thought about it, its their right to have their own opinion. So, today, I learned to repect other peoples opinions, instead of attacking them verbally. Maybe, some day, we will all learn to do the same. Take care.

It is in the nature of human to try to destroy themselves, though they have the "freewill" to choose another path, a path that has greater perils. MAN has a tendency to choose the path of lease resistance; which is this case is the ath of WAR.
Small minded men thrive on war; since they, themselves don't have to do any real fighting.
I would like to see the men who start wars, placed in ring, like the "gladiators of ancient Rome, and battle it out to the end. In the days when the right was the "victor."
This would save allot of innocent people from dying on both sides of the battle.

As much as I wish for peace and equality, it is human nature to fight, judge, and kill. I don't think it'll ever change,sad as it is.

The base human instinct is fight or flight. The second is kill or be killed.
With our basic instincts being so violent, I doubt humans will see the year 3000

Yes they will live in Peace according to Psalms 37:9-11
9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
