World Peace....is it possible??

    World peace: is the utopian ideal of planetary non-violence by which nations cooperate, either voluntarily or by a system of governance that prevents warfare.

    I don't understand why it is so hard for some people to accept others as they are. I don't understand why some are taught as young children to HATE a certain type of person because they don't have the same belief systems as they do. Why don't we teach our children to embrace the worlds differences as a positive thing, and accept one another as individuals. Why not celebrate the differences and learn from one another? Why can't we all just learn to get along (the old famous saying) ???
    I know it's easier said than done, especially when some of the hatred goes back thousands of years. Maybe world peace will never be possible??

      Oi! Sou administrador de um grupo chamado Photography and Expressions (Invite More)-Post 1 and Comment 5, e nós adoraríamos ter a sua foto adicionada ao grupo.

      It is difficult, but not impossible. It depends on each of us.

      I like this idea.

      the answer is: money, ambition, power. Differences are a good motor to move people against people and then you can sell your guns. That's all.
