When people talk about World Peace, Communism or some other form of World Unity, there is usually a comment on how it is against human nature. If there was one thing we could wipe out of our human nature to make the world better (whatever your belief of a better world is) what should it be? Lust, greed, fear?

Our biggest is the fear that we are WRONG and the other guy is right. We never want to be told what we are passionate about is useless and the other guy's passions are better. This fear is very powerful and drives lust and greed. We lust for the right answer and the right path in life and we mistake greed for power. An ideal society would recognize that not everyone is right, not everyone is wrong, and we should accept people for who they are, not what they are.

Greed,undoubtedly. Lust only impacts on individuals, greed has wiped out whole nations and is destroying the planet just now. Fear is only the instrument of the successful greedy ones, to keep the others in line.

This might be REALLY unpopular, but I think we could do without sex so frequently. All the problems between men and women seem to me to be caused by: Men not getting enough sex when they want it; women getting too much too often. If we weren't so obsessed with sex 98% of the time, we would all be able to take the time and energy to work on all those problems you named above.
