There will be peace. Once everything is dead.

I think the best answer was at 00:21. It calls into question our internal lapses in logic, forcing us to look in, which is always harder than lookin out.

50 years onward from Woodstock... I'm still hoping Peace & Love can prevail Can't imagine why not.... don't want to. The effort is worth it. Always..

[syahran]

"when the power of love overcome the love of power, then and only THEN we can achieve true peace"

[bramvanderwaal]

There will be peace when we stop putting labels on one other and start seeing every person for who he truely is from the inside

[PebblesThePengiun]

To quote the sniper
"As long there's 2 people left on the planet someone's gonna want someone dead"
Sad reality if our modern world

[mojokuku]

No, it's not in our nature at this point.

Peace is always possible, in many different mediums. We have moments of it every day, that we should not take for granted. Always keep looking for it, and it shall come. :)

People will always find something to hate about someone. So noo world peace is impossible. The world is to shallow because of the media, elite, materialism.

[christopherford]

This is something we all need;

Lord of Light, Keeper of Peace, and Shield of the Good —
In a world of shadow, be my lamp.
Where men seek power, grant me wisdom.
Where the strong devour the weak, make me a defender.
Where truth is twisted, let me speak it clearly and with grace.
Where fear reigns, let faith rise.

Let me not be hardened by hatred,
Nor broken by sorrow.
Let me not become what I stand against,
But reflect the mercy I have received.

I am small, but You are not.
I am tired, but You never sleep.
The world may burn, but love is not consumed.
Let me be a light — even if only for one soul.

And when the final storm gathers —
Be it fire, war, or silence —
Let me be found faithful.

Amen.

Peace first begins with ourselves and understanding our own flaws and sins, what keeps peace from happening is ignorance and lack of understanding. When we first learn to accept our own vices and imperfections can we have the power to not only forgive others but ourselves. Peace is always possible, trust not what you see but what you feel 💛💛💛

[ragianazariah]

yes it's possible. it's happening right now! in my backyard, them green veggies are growing!

[brianmartinez]

Just do your part. You can’t change anyone but yourself. We expect others to change before we change. At some point the balance will tip and peace will dominate without trying

[Anonymous-oico]

I wish nothing but world peace in the depths of my soul but I'm not sure it's possible

[dheophe]

The first step to reach peace is EDUCATION.

[gunrajsingh]

When you try to make peace out in the world .. there will be always someone .. who can't accept it ..
Coz they find harmony in fighting
-someone ..

[zabardastkhan-grqp]

World peace is possible through inner peace.
Peace for all
