I constantly ask this myself this question and I don't think it is possible. Let's assume everyone on the planet are decent people. There is currently no crime or negative behavior. Let's assume one day a man falls in love with the girl of his dreams and begins to date her. Several months go by and he becomes even more attached to her. She doesn't feel the same way, so she leaves him. He is heartbroken. From love, which is such a positive feeling, comes terrible sadness. Inevitably he will be very cautious with the next woman he is with. She falls in love with him and he automatically protects himself by leaving her. Now she is sad. The sadness spreads to many people in this manner alone. There are so many ways something like this could happen. What do you do? Eliminate Love?... Okay... Children are playing outside and having fun, but one little boy falls and skins his knee. He is sad and crying in physical pain. What do you do? Eliminate Fun?... My point is that in order to have happiness in the world, there has to be sadness as well. If you get rid of one, you must get rid of the other. It's human nature.

We'd all need to be cultural relavists to all get along because that means we wouldn't judge any action because to the person doing the action, their culture might approve of it. Just learned this in Philosophy 102 yesterday. But there are flaws with the theory, so I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Nice idea until you realize that this would be the end of diversity and independent thought. Personally, I prefer a little strife and the creativity it brings.
We aren't supposed to be, to think and feel alike. Thank goodness!

Because that would lead to peace and peace would lead to no wars and no wars will equal the destruction of our life. We need war.

because people are not focused on themselves and getting in touch with what they really desire.....people are trying to fit in and that causes a lot of issues

But if it was always like that, we'd take it for granted and be bored:)
