How can the world be peaceful?

World peace is hence only achieved through internal means—by liberating ourselves from artificial boundaries that separate us all. As with all Dharmic Religions, (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism), ahimsa (avoidance of violence) is a central concept.

Why is world peace so hard to achieve?

One of the reasons world peace is nearly impossible is because people young and old still have not grasped even a small piece of what life should mean to them. Everyone needs to understand that life is extremely short. They also need to understand that no matter what race, what religion or where we come from, we are all in the same boat together.

Is world peace feasible?

World peace is totally feasible under the right circumstances and with the right people in it, but currently it is nowhere near that point, which is why I am deeming it nearly impossible. I am only 20-years-old, but I feel as though I am starting to grasp the meaning of life — what is important in life and what is not important at all.

What is the real barrier to world peace?

THE REAL BARRIER TO WORLD PEACE.

How can the world become more peaceful if everyone is informed?

Someone that is informed performs an act of violence, the news broadcasts it, people see it (are uninformed) and then act in a matter of influence from the other person. If we all just took the time to gather information and not act just because someone else has, then the world would slowly become more peaceful.
