I want a world without war, a world without insanity,a world without boundaries. I want a world of peace,a world of love. I want to see people do well. It is not just as much as I want for myself. It is for the people around me.
I think that any human has not experienced a world without war so he is not aspiring for it. A real world is a world of peace.Peace is the true life,the life of working and learning. War is nothing but denial of reality.

It's a nice thought, but not entirely realistic. There will always be a person who will try and upset the applecart. There will always be a person who will cause trouble. There will always be a person who will start a war.
Believe me, I'd like a world of peace, without any conflicts. But the only world with peace is a world which is not occupied. It's a sad reality, but it's life. Humanity has many flaws and their tendency to go to war for perceived wrongs is one of the biggest flaws.

Yeah you have a nice point but you are seeing if from a realistic point. You are just describing the world but I am prescribing the world for peace. I accept that there is nothing perfect in this world but I say that we should aspire to be a perfect society. We may not become perfect but our direction should always be towards a perfection.

Can we first have our personal world devoid of war? Our mind, I mean. It is constantly at war with itself. May be we can start with one mind at a time. Can we get rid of judgement, fear, hatred, jealousy, anger in ourselves? And cultivate peace of mind, love, kindness to others?
I gain peace, I can help my friend gain his and so on. So, the journey towards the elusive world without war has to start somewhere. Can peace start with each of us, individually?

You know what is really scary? It is not war or threat of war. Though it is terrible with frightening weapons, war is mostly sad. What is really scary is that when we ask people to imagine a world without war they have a difficult time with it. That is very scary.
I can imagine, I just have difficulty directing my imagination as to how true peace could come about.

Yes, live without war is peace life, live with love and all people do well, happy and happy always.
Yes, you are right, a real world is a world of peace all people working and learning. I think war is only make our life more difficult.
But, I think it is impossible that we can find world without war. It is a world, not a paradise.
We can control war but can't remove it at all.

Yeah it's a good thought but be realistic man. If riots are happening just because someone eats meat or not, or two clans of same religion don't agree to something then the hopes are very little!!
Whenever a war or riot takes place, I always remember Tommy Lee Jones's line from Men In Black :- "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky"
