O COMPANION OF MY THRONE!
Hear no evil, and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh nor weep. Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great; and wish not the abasement of anyone, that thine own abasement be not exposed. Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom for evermore

If everyone behaved this way, there would be no more war, no more fighting, no more endless debates, no more hate between people; People would support and help each other. World peace would finally have been achived.

(btw, is that out of the Bible? If it is, i wouldn't have quoted the King James if I were you. People would take it more seriously if it was in our rather base and uninteresting mondern English. Just a passing thought...... :D otherwise, an excelent question!)

Sounds pretty good. You should have told us who you are quoting though. The only problem I have is with the "if everybody" part. If you remove yourself from awareness of evil to that extent, who does the Defense Against the Dark Arts? In order for the Amish to live as the peaceful, kind and warm-hearted people they are, they need the protection of the U.S. Military, even though they decline to serve personally. It is part of America's goodness that we can do things like that.

But we cannot all close our eyes to the existence of evil, or it will sneak up on us. Some must take responsibility for Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I believe the result of such behavior would be the end of humanity for we are born into sin thus there is no escape.There is a reason for it all-if there wasn't hope and forgiveness would not exist.If you look at the history of humanity any peace,social society's evolution,order has all been a resolve of some protest,conflict,war,kaos,tragedy or disaster.There has to be a balance of positive and negative energy's either simultaneously such as 'God and the Devil' or following each other such as 'Day and Night'.

that is Chinese philosophy,its a condensed learning of how to achieve a really true state of mind,every culture has their own,but that's a optional way of thinking,if you choose to live accordingly to it your walking by the path of spiritual enlightenment,thus becoming a free spirit in the walk of life,but that's an option of living,so not everybody will choose to live by the meaning of it.

If you can get everyone in the world to live a life that would put a saint to shame We might have world peace, but I am not counting on you doing that.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and perhaps think no evil. Or maybe don't think at all. Sounds like having vanilla ice cream for ever and no toppings.

Since all people have different minds they simply think and act differently. So all people will never behave in a certain way.
