Why can't we all live in peace.

Hey bud,
I am an eternal optimist, and truely believe that with a determined will all things are possible.
However as a collective (global) we need to become more pro-active about things that affect and impact our lives, even in the most indirect ways.
I have a belief, that as human beings we tend not to worry about the bomb until it lands on our own house. It's my sincere feeling that we need to adopt a more 'empathetic' approach to many of the ills that are life in general, and constantly ask the question: what if this was me, some of us care too much for 'self' and too little for others. When i look breifly at most of the conflicts in the world this day, the common denominator is that but for the pride of personalities, we could find solutions to a vast number of these problems. Furthermore, conflict and war is a profitable business, and like 'oil', gold, the illicit supply of drugs, it's all fueled by greed.
In conclusion, unilateral peace is acheivable, however we need commited people in positions to enable us to acheive this realisation.
Hopefully i did not prolong my answer.
Be well bud PE-ACE

Unfortunately no, not as long as there are religious questions on here. Nor will there be an end to feuds as long as people belong and follow certain religions which control, indoctrinate and promote fear.

Sadly, no.
It would be sweet if everyone was so utterly content within their own belief system, so filled with joy and fulfillment, that they had no desire to go poking sticks at others.
Unfortunately, some just feel driven to either impose their philosophy on others and/or attempt to tear down the others' belief system. I tend to think that something is just lacking in their lives.
Religion and politics have been the source of more conflict and bloodshed in history than anything else.
But, a man (or woman) who is truly content with their life and spirituality has no desire to harass others.

As long as there are religious feuds in real life (meaning as long as there is religion), there will be religious feuds on Yahoo! Answers.

Nope, there will never be a way to end religious feuds anywhere. People are always going to think what they think and have their opinions, and will try to get others to agree with them. It's human nature.

Do you mean Yahoo should adopt the peace loving postures of religions worldwide, the shining example of brotherly love displayed daily by superstition and selfishness posing as truth?

There are lots of generally peaceful people on here... just look for them... they're here. Ignore the jerks... look for questions that appear helpful to someone.
G'day!
