We often hear about world peace. Everyone says it's what they want, and what we all should strive for, yet no one seems to define it.
I was wondering what it means to those of us here. What would it look like ? What would it consist of? What would be the neccessary first step?
If you need fear to enforce your beliefs, then your beliefs are worthless.

Somewhere between World Domination and 'Brave New World' I would guess.

And/or sometimes, "Justice....no peace."
"Torture doesn't work" lol
Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

God save your majesty!

Why define something that will never be?

The big boys define it as killing the enemy, that is when they rest in peace.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Take the current state of human affairs. Reduce the wanton violence by one incident. You have moved closer toward world peace.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats |

Define it sure. Achieving it is another stretch of road.

It's quite simple.
If there was only one of us left, that sole survivor would argue with him or herself. There's nothing wrong with wanting world peace and working towards it - just so long as we realise it is unattainable. The futility should not stop us trying, because every step on the way helps some people. |
