"...Peace is an unattainable and naive ideal."
I say, Tell that to your children when you try to convince them not to argue or worse are trying to break up a physical altercation between them.
I find it amazing that a parent can pretend to believe such a ridiculous statement when the reality is that if they truly did believe that, their home life would be hell, and hell for their children. For how could you possibly teach your children to get along and love each and have a warm and good home environment when at the same time you are teaching them it is impossible for people to get along? You can't, one of the two is a lie.

Neither you or I can say if it will be in our lifetimes for unless we decide that there will be peace in our lifetime, nature will decide for us and in that, we have no influence whatsoever. It will be decided for us.
Volcanos, earthquakes, or any other natural cause will bring some people together but not enough--I think you have to face the reality of the world you live in not the one you dream of.
The decision is in our hands--it is too easy to say it will be decided for us. That's 'passing the buck' which is what we have done, do and will continue to do.
I think you were looking for a fight. I can understand why you cannot comprehend peace. I for one, was not looking for a fight and I can debate without trying to hurl slams and insults. In fact, my post did not include any names whatsoever just so I wouldn't be directing indivdually. I also suggest you reread my comment to you because you've made a mistake on what I said. I don't feel the need to point it out for that does not matter. I know what my intentions were, and I know what your were.
Have a good and peacefule evening, Sir.
And I have to assume you are a psychic since you know what my intentions were--so when will the world attain peace??
The only thing that is up to me to do is to put you on IGNORE! You are hereby notified that you have been permanently placed on IGNORE. I am the supreme ruler of my own IGNORE feature, therefore only I can decide whether to temporarily disable the feature if I so choose to respond to dispel record leves of stupidy set forth herewith.
I am the god of IGNORE.
Anyway, thanks. I did find it a good study, however. I am forever amazed at how easily influenced people choose to allow themselves to be. Coming from a person who doesn't care a hoot what anybody thinks of me and never chimes in just to go along with the crowd, well, I have a difficult time accepting such weakness in another and my brazen attitude about this particular topic likes to deliberately point out those weaknesses. I guess that is one of my weaknesses, huh?
My son is very easily influenced by the opinions of others which practically kills me. Rather than continually try to teach him how to not allow that to happen, I am now trying to teach him that since he is a person who is so easily influenced by the opinion and perspectives of others and since he chooses not to educate himself on the facts of the matter and then make his own observations, he needs to be very careful in who he chooses to influence. I'm hoping by at least paying attention to it, he will learn how necessary it is to learn the truth and the facts before jumping on someone else's rickety bandwagon.
Thanks again for the possitive advise.[HEART]
