We don't. Conflict is one of our defining traits as humans. It's going to show up and drive us no matter what we do. Of course we should strive for peace, but total peace is not a realistic outlook of the world or even a remote possibility.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
- tonetheman 6y agoExactly this. We cannot stop on earth WTF would be different in space.
- kiliancs 6y agoI have always found this quote [0] from 'Abdu'l-Bahá very thought-provoking: > During the last six thousand years nations have hated one another, it is now time to stop. War must cease. Let us be united and love one another and await the result. We know the effects of war are bad. So let us try, as an experiment, peace, and if the results of peace are bad, then we can choose if it would be better to go back to the old state of war! Let us in any case make the experiment. We haven't managed yet, and I'm not saying it's easy, but there are ways to prevent wars, if we collectively decide so. Conflict is unavoidable but may be resolved in many other ways that don't involve violence. [0] https://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/ABL/abl-23.html https://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/ABL/abl-23.html
