I don't think humans will ever achieve world peace. We simply are not built for that kind of thing. We're built as far as I can tell for war and hatred. I've never thought humanity can be truly united and quite honestly it's not an idea I think of with any real fondness.

That being said do you think humanity could ever achieve world peace or a general unity? If you feel a simple yes or no is not complex enough go ahead and respond with details then.

I think we're too tribal and folks will always want control over resources.
Unless we discover an unlimited supply of energy, get robots to do all the manual labor and get rid of all religions. Then it might be possible.

What we have now doesn't qualify as world peace to you?

Please define 'world peace'.

Yes we can, although there are still many who don't want it that could lead to dark days ahead

Exactly the opposite. Have you noticed the increase of military recruitment ads recently? And this buffoon we Americans have for a president is the catalyst for WWIII.

Is world peace possible?

I voted 'Yes'. There hasn't been a major international war in over 70 years. There are just pockets of stupidity left that should go away in a couple more generations.
We are in the largest period of RELATIVE peace in recorded human history. The current set of wars and atrocities does not match the millions killed not so very long ago. We have not yet learned true harmony, to be sure, but we've started down that path.

I don't want to say yes, because we can definitely destroy ourselves before we achieve it, but for most of the world life has never been more peaceful or certain.

We are not "built for war and hatred." We are built -- like every other evolved thing on this planet -- for survival and propagation of our species.

However! That little mundane observation aside, we are also quite a complex species. We are social, which means that we rely on one another for our very survival. Yet, we can also act as selfish individuals (no ant or bee or termite ever managed that), and break our social rules for our individual purposes. And this creates a duality that is extremely difficult. It has shaped human history.

And it will continue to shape humanity. As we are now, we can never all be at peace with one another. If we continue to evolve -- maybe. But then, would we still be human?

I think in terms of stability than that of peace.

I think we are much to hardwired instinctively making a " true peace" impossible on any collective scale. There's always going to be a degree of instability present.

I can agree with ' hardwired ' in the sense of James 4:1-4 - coming from fallen mankind's imperfect desires.....
So, to me, under Satan as the ' god ' of this world of badness - 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:12,9 - mankind can Not establish true peace. Mankind may say, " Peace and Security " but that is only going to be a precursor to the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, establishes Peace on Earth among person's of goodwill on a collective global scale - 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3; Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-16.

Since, to me, there will be No WWIII, but perhaps a catalyst for the final war in Scripture called Armageddon.
I think this is when Jesus, as King of God's Kingdom government, will bring Peace on Earth.
The executional words from Jesus' mouth will rid the Earth of the wicked, buffoons or otherwise.
- Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:11; Revelation 19:14-16

I can agree that mankind can definitely destroy ourselves..... because Earth need protection from: humans.
Many of man's activities today oppose both God and Earth.
Each day the amount of trees cut down could fill New York's Central Park.
Trash pollutes showing a wasteful pattern happening and growing each day, including with nuclear waste.
Ocean waters are acidic, and I heard even becoming much worse by the year 2050.
So, yes, to me, mankind could be talking about man-made extinction.
Man is suffering because of the bad consequences of man's (Not God's) actions.
I'm happy to read at the end of Revelation 11:18 B, that God will step in and bring to ruin those ruining Earth.

There is an old adage that it is darkest before the dawn.
The Scriptures agree with that adage because to me Revelation 7:14 tells of a great tribulation coming before there will be established Peace on Earth, when the words from Jesus' mouth will rid the earth of wickedness.

No. As humans, we love killing each other too much for world peace.

I think James 4:1-4 agrees with you because of mankind's fallen flesh, so to speak, since Adam's downfall.
Although man can't establish world peace, I think there is going to be world peace, and that is because God will have Jesus', as Prince of Peace, step in and usher in global Peace on Earth.
