Topic: Can we ever live in peaceful Coexistence - page 2. (Read 278 times)

Peace and war have, love and hate has always been there since the beginning of mankind, so it's a part of human nature to have conflicts and resolutions, but so far peace is greater than wars, then the world will still be coexisting. I don't think that it's possible to totally eradicate hate and war, but we can minimize it by respecting the rights of others to exist and freedom to make their own choices, but to achieve these is not easy, because there'll always be those that'll want to marginalize and oppress others. So in the end everybody needs to fight for their rights, inorder to get the respect that they deserve, whether it's individuals or countries, this is the inevitable truth.

Not a notion of this ever happening, its only a dream to think it could be possible.

IMO the biggest single cause of conflict is land. Land around the world has changed hands
and 'ownership' by force throughout human history.

Starting with hunter gatherers defending their patch which yielded an abundance of food,
they would have protected it and prevented other groups or tribes entering that area. 

Fast forward through the ages of wars waged by neighbouring provinces and countries in
conflict with each other over certain territories right up to today . . .

Today there are two wars* being waged

Russia v Ukraine - again this is over land/territory
Israel v Gaza - technically this is not a war, it is one country which has for decades been
invading Palestinian land to use as its own as new settlements

On a micro level we as humans are generally an aggressive species we fight and kill each
other over various things, this will not stop.

 

The impossibilities of regaining a peaceful and oneness society is more of the possibilities because even the weak countries being oppressed by the strong countries wouldn't still be submission to give up with the wars.
That provocative statements that says "we better die fighting and folding hand while they kill us all" has brought too much extension of crisis in the World today.
Sometime we should just swallow our prides and pretends to be cowards if only that fact would bring peace but no on wants to feel being a coward so how does the peace come when everyone wants to claim king of the jungles even when at the point of hopelessness.

We ain't in the military livelihood where the military has no choice than fighting til death and only the survival gains the victory.
We must understand that this is civil era and we must reduce that too much interests in building arms and weapons as projects to be used in the future else there'd always be certain times we'd want to have them in used as they seems weapons to conquer whenever we're engaged on wars.
All are so much unnecessary and waste of resources. Much are being spent for wars than for the civil welfares in the World of today. So adjectively, the hatred of one another has actually come to say as what the reality looks like. We can only pretend to some points by ceasing fire but there would always be that fumes of crisis blasting where lives and valuables wouldn't be undermined.

you can't. because it is human nature to be greedy and envious of what other people have. especially the problems in ukraine and palestine, from these two wars we can see that each country said that they were the most right and it was very complicated to be able to discuss this problem. so wherever it is, there will definitely be war and bloodshed. because human civilization has developed through this, don't you believe it? try looking at the timeline of human civilization, even though humans kill each other, it produces a new, more advanced civilization.

so no matter what, if humans are still divided between countries, religions, etc., then it has become a law of nature that they will clash and fight.

It would be almost Utopic to assume it would be possible for people from all nations to get along with one another and there would never be more wars and the sacrifice of innocent people for the sake of the ambitions of others in the top of the power pyramid. Whether we like it or not, it would be very unlikely we will ever see an era of world peace, since the beginning of civilization human kind as kept conflicts going. At first it was for religion and the seizing of land, nowadays is for the access to natural resources which will eventually become scarce.

I don't want to discourage anyone to believe a better world is possible though, I just think there is a very long path ahead before anyone of us could even see a fraction of what world peace could actually look like.
It is said money is the root of all evil, which we could argue to be true or not, I sincerely believe politics and selfishness only makes the evil coming from money to be more overwhelming.

Maybe I will have a divergent view towards this but more realistic and factual. So long human is concern in living as group and associating together then peace is a mirage, it is not achievable that in human society that you have total peace, I don't see that to happen. The world conflict has been existing because of the incidence of what it is even in the history of bible, cain was not at peace with Abel as brothers so expecting total peace is looking for what is not in existence. We can only try to settle conflict and reduce the occurrence of it.

There is a reason that there is law and punishment, it is for all to know where the acts that they do belong to.

Yes, we can achieve this, only if we all come in alignment to having the same positive intentions towards one another, the problem the world is facing today is as a result of their self proclamations on what they think they have and others don't and such makes them to use those things against one another, nature is not the one fighting against us, we are the one having issues with our fellow human beings in life because of ranks and positions to achieve over others.

Yes of course we can brother,let's take for an extance now in a community we are supposed to leave in harmony then billions of naira comes in ,and the chiefs and Eze conspired to eat the money alone ,in this case others didn't benefit from the billions of naira,and they will likely to be a part of it ,now their where a great issues that happens,the youth know about the money but the chiefs didn't like them to know about it so that them can just share the money among few,

This is a big problem, people can't longer live in peaceful coexistence,now if the revarce is the case like  this ,like the eze and the chiefs bring the billions naira so that everyone can be a partaker of the money did you think fight or any issue will come up of course no,so with this little experience and explanation you will know thatvwe can leave inva peaceful coexistence, without having someone in mined

This world have experience more War and her very foundation have been built with blood.Nations fought against nations,Brothers against Brothers,Father's against their Sons,Religion leaders have fuel more hatred than achieving peace in our society.We have seen how powerful Nations Uses Weapons of mass destruction(Nuclear weapons) against weaker Nations not even minding the Number of deaths and excruciating pains this weapons can cause, are we  gonna continue killing ourselves all in the name of power.Can we ever live in peaceful coexistence in this world.


The people of Ukraine and Palestine have the right to live in peace.
