What does your "peaceful world" look like?

Question

We all want peace on earth, but what does it mean, really? What is the practical reality of a peaceful world? What does it look like in your opinion?

Answer 1

The question needs to be rephrased I think.It does not matter what I think about PEACE (It's not a state of mind by the way it's a choice one needs to make )But what you should know about peace.There is no easy method specially in todays world where every thing is done in 2 min and 3 sec.That u will have to find out yourself.It must be your original quest and the answer also will than be enlightening!!!That's the way I go about my life.I pause and think--very deeply, and then weigh all the pro and cons and then reach a conclusion, whether it be about my faith or about my life style.I derive this standards and I never, never follow the PEER PRESSURE!!!! That's How I flourish on this earth while I have my breath.And by taking a step back does not at all mean defeat to me but rather it's victory.Because I do not live my life for my self but for others.Yes my sincerety is often time misunderstood but that does not stop me from doing what my convictions are.I guess this much will suffice for now.
Sorry friend!your view abut peace is very idealistic but never exists.It will drive further to desperation.Take the bull by it's horn and learn to live with reality.I am not an escapist, and I try to live life this way.Not always we get the answer to all our question and it's alright that way with me.

Answer 2

a peaceful world is simply one where justice is upheld over the ones that have more resources to back their personal interests. In other words, all you need for a peaceful world, is justice.

Once this is fulfilled, peace comes naturally. Extremists terrorists did what they did because they "perceived" an injustice of the USA supporting Israel....this is partly true, but their actions did not warrant their cause...

as long as there is silent injustice, or perceived injustice...there will never be peace.

The moment you have true justice, a peaceful world comes naturally...however, sometimes personal interests, get in the way of justice, and this is what causes silent resentment ,hatred, and the outburst of violence.

this refers to 'peace' in the global context amongst countries, it does not refer to peace between man --that would require another social construct--some people will simply not get along with each other, and this is just natural in society--brazen selfishness happens at times--if people were more understanding and more practical, then this peace could also be acheived--maybe through a neural implant hardwired construct that would not only make people be concious about their own survival and "sense" for the preservation of self, but for the preservation of the whole....other than that, I don't see "peace" in the social arena, neither would you want tthat--or experiment with such sacred natural structures without knowing you might end up creating hell on Earth(good intentions pave the path to hell)--maybe perfect peace would not look so good as it quite seems--

Otherwise, for "the big picture" peace, the main ingredient is justice, something that lacks today..

-Israel is perceived to get away with more things and not get reprimanded, yet muslims do
-USA is perceived as hypocritical.

these two injustices, is what is causing most of the unrest in the world at the present moment.

Answer 3

A world of peace cannot be achieved. A world of stability,of unity and paradial beauty can be. This world is one of an all-sustaining, agreeing government. One religion, one race, and no reason for useless wars. With one religion[not Christianity] we could end useless quarrels and reasons fpr revolutions. We could finally coexist. One race would end our need for didivsion as a whole. We could become a part of the same population as every other man and woman.

All of this seems like a world of crazy uniformists, but from the way I picture it, from the way I would explain, It is not. But then again, no christian woul "dare" sin and listen. I don't wish to explain unless someone asks

Answer 4

Mostly I would see a world where all humans respected one another and all the creatures around us. That sounds simplistic but I think if we truely showed respect there would be peace.

Answer 5

blank, becuase there never will be a peaceful world as long as humans live.

Answer 6

No countries, no passports, no religion telling people what to do, people sharing, caring, loving and ACKNOWLEDGING each other and the fact that we are all one and connected. And I strongly believe we can and will achieve that.

Answer 7

Where all things are understood as an extension of God.

It looks very respectful... respect for all things.

Answer 8

It looks peaceful. People peacefully accepting each other, banks peacefully taking the shirt on your back, criminals peacefully killing you... Something like that.

Answer 9

Living above all the crap.
