World Peace

I know that the idea sounds great, but I believe that it is truely impossible. Everyone will never agree with one another and not everyone will ever follow the rules. I love the beatles and I support John Lennon's spirit and passion for the issue, but it is not enough. I do agree with his sit-in's in Montreal, when him and his wife Yoko Ono stayed in their hotel room for a week and he said that if everyone was to just stay in bed for 5 minutes then in those 5 minutes there would be world peace. Yes, maybe it is true, but what happens after those 5 minutes. There are so many wars ongoing in the world right now, some even civil, some not. This notion of world peace is just impossible, because everyone will not be happy with one another. There are always dissagreements even since the beginning of time. It is human nature to be selffish, as Thomas Hobbes once said. People will want more land, more money or their religion to be dominate. It doesn't matter what the issue, the problem is there will always be an issue. Even as we speak there is a war going on in Iraq, and both sides think they are right. I would like to imagine a world without fighting, but it is just not possible. Some my call me a cynic, but I just think I'm realistic. Everyone always wants more, evenyone wants to be better off than their neighbor. I believe that it is good to have hope and to want something, but I just also think that goals must be in ones reach. Not everything is possible. Even if you stripped everyone is the world of everything, everyone was equal, there still would be no peace. People would still envy their neighbors, want their beauty, be jealous of their lover, just jealous! Thus, just a thought but I don't believe peace is possible. I would want it , but I know that humankind can never achieve it.
