Please Tell Me Why........

..... the world cannot live in piece, why cant we all be friends?

There is no need for poverty, disease, WAR, greed or anything else in this day and age.

My greatest fear at this moment, is another World War will happen with what is happening in the Middle East.

This is better suited to ROTW, I think.

Religion. The main reason there is always war is because of Religion. There only way to have peace, is, to have a single religion in the world. That will never happen though. Even if it did, you would still have wars - probably over stupid issues. The gun makers make lots and lots of money off of wars so they would start wars, just to make money.

Poverty will always be here, it's just the way the world works. Greed is part of Human Nature - you can't stop it.

Disease - There is now way humans can stop this. It's just not possible. We will always have diseases.

Not really, religion is just a justification to war. Most conflicts throughout history have been based on ethnic pride and a supposed claim to land and resources.

Simple: we are human. Imperfect. Creatures or war. If there was no reason to fight, we would all be the same. Clones of each other. I believe that perfection is impossible to achieve. We will always have war, disease. But poverty somehow may be eliminated when we advance society. Maybe with the right one world government, that could happen. But who knows. Still sounds hard to achieve. We should always strive for perfection IMO. Even though we cannot have it.

There are a lot of factors that go into this. It's mainly cultural differences – humans were separated for thousands of years; it's only recently that this "international community" formed. During that long period of human history, each culture developed an identity and most were hostile to any different groups. The reason we can't work out our differences today is because we've been conditioned to attack anything that's different, or to us, "savage". This is hardly a new concept.

As long as culture exists, there will be war. Alas, as long as greed and power exist, there will also be war. Sure, it's "not necessary," but the reason everlasting peace is impossible is because there are always those who are hostile, and won't conform to the morals of anybody else.
