How to make peace in the world?

Question

How to stop wars?

Answer 1

If we could strike a balance of beneficial understanding and value of human life--that might prevent much.

Leaders of one country should not taunt or provoke the people or leaders of other countries--that could lead to war, which would lead to death and suffering.

Leaders and people of countries in conflict must recognize the right of the other people to exist--but it is a mutual right. Both sides must be permitted to live.

The physical actions of one country should not adversely affect the other country without compensating agreement or allowance. One country's pollution spilling out across borders, or another country siphoning off a river's water, left unchecked or uncompensated, these are things that lead people to fight back--wars killing people over such an obvious physical wrong are in themselves wrong and should be prevented by responsibly and inoffensively living with one's neighbors.

Ancient fights must be left to history. The wrongs of this country or that fighting a war decades, centuries, or even millennia ago must be left to the past--current lives are at stake, lives innocent of ancient wrongs. Still, taking responsibility to some degree for the past sometimes has its place. A people long possessing a certain place might need allowances for culture's sake--but not at the price of death, not for anyone.

It is better to suffer the wrong than to right the wrong with another's death, unless the death of the other is to stop someone who inflicts death on others without respect for others. A fight should only be against people who fight against others and will not respect the value of human life for their own people or their neighbors. A leader who goes to war to satisfy his own lust for power is a leader that must be stopped. A leader who goes to war because another people are unrepentantly and irresponsibly killing his people should not be punished. But if all leaders respected the life of his own people who would fight and suffer in a war against another, as well as the lives of the other people they would fight and kill, then only the gravest of events would justify war. A plane straying over a border, a boat crossing too close, a party misdirected and lost--these have been the sparks of wars in the past, but should never be in the future. Posturing with armed concentrations at borders--these have been the sparks of wars in the past, but should never be in the future. Nations permitting contentious groups to train and stage their fight against other people--these have been the sparks of wars in the past, but should never be in the future.

Nations should as much protect their neighbors from people in their own lands as they protect the people of their lands from their neighbors.

Answer 2

I am afraid that wars will not stop because the population of the world is out of control. No one and/or country can make a decision without so many repercussions to others that the decision winds up in war. Consider this: for the greenhouse effect, we mandate that on one will operate a vehicle on Sunday. This could help save the world but do you really think we could do this. Think of the ramifications. That's why we continue to have wars. I am afraid that Mother Nature is on the way with the avian flu. Look at history. When we are at the brink of destroying our world, mother nature steps in and wipes most of us out. Our technology has moved too fast for mother nature, but she may have caught up. Think of the irony of this, the very birds we have destroyed with our wars, chemicals, pollution, will be the instrument of our demise. Alfred Hitchcock may have had it right, the method will just be different. We will have peace when people are once again at a reasonable number and hopefully the fittest will survive to create a new world without war and so many bad mistakes.

I believe that wars are caused by a preceived or real need for and lack of resources. However that is not enough because even with tons of resources, people still fight and kill each other.

Wars are also caused by a perceived threat that the human mind can't overcome (Find a solution to )and then it results to voilence. Kindof like the US and Iran, I feel that the US has already decided that violence is the only option available and apparently Iran believes that it is coming as well. This threat doesn't need to be real like the German forces invading Poland real, it can be phycological (I'm insecure), religious(They are wrong, evil, bad), cultural (Only our race deserves to be here) etc.

To acheive peace you need God's help because you will have to overcome the human heart as the violence, greed, hatred that leads to war lives in all of us and is really up to the person to choose. To overcome it you have to replace it with Love and not any love, but a love that puts others first which is directly against our animal tendenancies (But obviously possible if you've ever seen a loving mother hold a screaming child).

How to do it? Well I would start with yourself, learn how to overcome the war inside yourself, then with your brother, then neighbor then country, then country to country. What makes it difficult is that we haven't progressed enough as a people to do this, much less even consider that this is something necessary.

I'll start over here, you start over there, maybe someday we'll meet in the middle.

Hope this helps,

Answer 4

There have been wars in the world since the beginning of time. To make peace in the world..... remove all greed, intolerance, hatred and hunger. Then you've got a chance.

Answer 5

justice

we have super hyper extreme injustice

pay from 1000th to a million times the average hourly pay

ie, a billion times/a billionth as much for the same work

1% get 90% of world income - US$70 trillion - ie US$70,00 per family

every family owrking average hard would get US$75,000 a year with justice - peace and plenty

90% get 10th-1000th of world average hourly pay

biggest fortune $50 billion -- 50% of americans have fortunes less than $2000

Answer 6

Make all the people in the world go away...that's how. As long as people exist, then the potential for evil lies within them. Now, some people have common sense and aren't likely to screw things up...but far too many have greed and power complexes and that's why we can never have total peace...

Answer 7

i dont know to stop wars everybody would have to come to an agreement to make peace.

Answer 8

to make peace a lot of people think that you have to please everyone all at the same time....but that is completely impossible...you just can't do it....so what you have to do is to make inner peace...realize that no one in the world matters until you do...it's not selfish...just a more introspective view of peace.

Answer 9

Option one: enter the Age of Aquarius, understand - globally - that violence is wrong and completely unnecessary.
Option two: kill those, who doesn't approve/understand idea above.
Option three: leave Earth.

First three things I was able to think of, maybe there are better, I don't say no :)
