But not doing it inevitibly leads to destruction and suffering by someone or somewhere distencencing us from that paradise and the further we get from that ideal the closer we are to our own extinction. I'm not sayying something like this can be done overnight but if it's what we actually strive for any true progress towards it can only be a good thing right, and I know we could we get closer to it then most of us even imagine, especially closer to it then we do now, how do you actually think we can move closer to that ideal?

The only way this would be possible is if everyone were there with the same intentions in mind. This is not possible due to the fact that as human beings, we are predisposed to selfishness, and will never be able to have this happen. Hopefully this will be what heaven will be, but for now, we just have to learn to live with what we've got and do our best to be good to each other.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
You say "by someone or or somewhere distancing us from that paradise".
I counter this statement by saying to you that ONLY YOU can distance yourself from anything or anyone or any goal that you have. All that we experience is from our own thoughts, our own vibrations which attract our experiences. To move closer to that ideal we must take personal responsibility and first attempt to achieve freedom, peace and harmony within ourselves and our own lives and relationships before we can expect it of others, of the world.

No, the world will never unite under one flag peacefully. There are simply too many differences.
Terra must be conquered by military force. And my people, the conquerers, the Canadians, are going to start with the United States of America.
Ah-hahahahahahahahahaha!

No. The natural world is hostile toward life. Life exists in spite of it. We can never get along with it, because it will eventually try to wipe us out.

We move to that ideal every day; today, freedom is closer.
BTW, this happens whether we like it or not....LOL
Good luck!

No. That ideal is false, it will never happen and HAS never happened.
