Do you consider yourself to have a realistic idea of how the human population would be altered if world peace were to occur?
When concerning this question “world peace” refers to an end to all militairy conflict, be it organised, guerrilla or otherwise.
I frequently hear debate regarding how a war or conflict is justified or unjustified, how death and destruction can be beneficial to some (generally the victors as history seems to have displayed), how the advantages of fighting outweigh the disadvantages in some circumstances. Despite these tiffs I have noted little questioning of the concept of peace. Do so very many humans sincerely believe that world peace would be the solution to all ailments? Would it end disease, famine and psychological issues? Would it stop homicide and suicide? Would there not be any problems that could arise from its maintenance?
I request that my perspective on this matter is not misconstrued as I, akin to many others, do wish for warfare to cease and desist entirely but also believe the concept of a perpetual nirvana being constructed as an affect of a singular event (in a manner of speaking) to be alarmingly unrealistic.
Do you, my friends, feel your idea of how world peace would affect humanity is realistic and if so in what fashion and why?
