A little while ago a friend and I were talking about the concept of world peace. We could never agree on it and dropped the subject rather quickly. Today, I'd like to take some time to fully express how I feel on the subject.
Ah world peace, a figment of the imagination of many of the 60's, or was it? Peace, love, and understanding isn't that all we ask for? Imagine that perfect world. Everyone is happy, there are no fights, no prejudice, nothing. But that's just it; there's nothing. The concept of world peace works much like that of infinity. We can only begin to fathom that which has no beginning and no end. In relation, everlasting peace would be a constant state of love and happiness to all of the world. In this life unfortunately, we are set in a constant rebound. You can't be happy without being sad sometimes, you can't feel good without knowing what it's like to feel bad; you'd just be neutral your entire life. I can see world peace lasting for one, maybe two generations, but that's only because they knew what it was like to live in a less happy time. Eventually some, if not many people, are going to want the rebound again. As much of a hippie as I am, I understand how this cycle has to go. Maybe in another life we'll know and understand how eternal peace can feel, but for now let the wheels keep on turning.
