Will the human race ever live in peace or is it human nature to fight and kill?

War (or lack of peace) does not exist because humans like to fight. The root of war is justice. For most of human life, war existed to take from others what we wanted for ourselves: land, power, opportunity. Survival was dependant on war.


In the present day, war occurs when we decide that intervention is required. When we say; we are not going to take it anymore.





If you choose peace, then you must be willing to let others be wrong. You must be able to pick up the pieces of your life and walk away, no matter what was done to you. That is peace. If you are the kind of person who cannot let someone ';get away with'; hurting you, then you are the obstacle to peace.





War exists because we don't want to lie down. We want to keep what is ours.Will the human race ever live in peace or is it human nature to fight and kill?
It's in the nature of some powerful assholes that believe they will achieve something by killing a bunch of innocent people!Will the human race ever live in peace or is it human nature to fight and kill?
its definatley human nature for all eternity
I'm going to have to say that conflict is human nature. It has been that was since the beginning of time.
With George Bush as president of America, The only placed the world is heading for is for destruction.





Is it any surpise that the rest of the world hates us, with the likes of Bush %26amp; Blair representing 'Us'!!
probaly not unless all the races combine in one race we might have a chance. but i don't want that not that its wrong but i like all cultures and i don't want them to go away even though i'm mixed w/ nicaraguan,costa rican,indian, chinese, and english.
Sadfully I believe that there wont be peace because of most peoples lack to treat others as they would want to be treated .
one day soon
Instinctively we are still animals and fighting is a natural part of animal mentality. Our ideas about religion, and ability to create technology just wakes our fighting bigger and scarier.
The day that our Lord Jesus Christ comes for us. that is the day that humans will be in peace.
Yes they will live in Peace according to Psalms 37:9-11





9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,


But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
The base human instinct is fight or flight. The second is kill or be killed.





With our basic instincts being so violent, I doubt humans will see the year 3000
It is in the nature of human to try to destroy themselves, though they have the ';freewill'; to choose another path, a path that has greater perils. MAN has a tendency to choose the path of lease resistance; which is this case is the ath of WAR.


Small minded men thrive on war; since they, themselves don't have to do any real fighting.


I would like to see the men who start wars, placed in ring, like the ';gladiators of ancient Rome, and battle it out to the end. In the days when the right was the ';victor.';


This would save allot of innocent people from dying on both sides of the battle.
There will be no peace as long as the parasite known as the human race infests the earth.
If there was no Dark, Light would be meaningless. it's just the way things are - Yin-Yang


we, Humans, as any other system in the Universe, are ruled by this principle. you would never remember names like Mandela, Guevara, Jesus Christ if they hadn't lived surrounded by 'Evil' forces.


keep fighting for the Good!
We will all get along... once Jesus returns!

as long as we have instincts that make us fight and kill, we will never live in peace, the only way we can live in peace is when they invent a way to control our thoughts and actions, and it seems like they are gonna raise the price of gas some more also
Unfortunately, humanity is cursed with free will and varying viewpoints. As long as we all have the capacity to think, there will always be conflict.





Depressing, no? :(
once every human on this earth is dead, then there will be peace.
I think it's in our nature to try to eliminate those we perceive as weak...Darwin's theory of evolution
As much as I wish for peace and equality, it is human nature to fight, judge, and kill. I don't think it'll ever change,sad as it is.
yeah there would allways be fighting and killing in earth as long as you have SATAN going around causing problems
AHHH, another dreamer. I dream of the human race living in peace. Unfortunately, people have different opinions, different opinions leads to conflict, conflict leads to hate, etc...... Well actually I think, maybe people should have thier own opinions, they are entitled to it. But I also think, people should respect others opinions and not have conflict and hate. Today I asked questions and I was angry at others opinions, but when I thought about it, its their right to have their own opinion. So, today, I learned to repect other peoples opinions, instead of attacking them verbally. Maybe, some day, we will all learn to do the same. Take care.
No and yes.





We are too selfish and selfcentered to be satisfied and we pretend to be more advanced that wolves but we are not - we kill more than they do and more viciously.
I am not sure if its human nature to fight and kill, but it is human nature to seek power, control and territory.





Fighting and killing are TOOLS used to satisfy the need for power, control, and possession of territory.





And there is much manipulation used by our leaders to justify the use of fighting and killing. As Michael Moore so clearly showed in Fahrenheit 911, the sons and daighters of congress people and senators aren't signing up for the military. If they so believe in the use of force, why is that?
and history says...





fight and kill.





it sucks, but the world is full of evil. we just have to do the best we can and live to try to make the world better in all ways possible.
I've been asking myself this same question for a while now. I wish I could say for sure that we would live in peace one day, but I can't say that with confidence.
Its gonna be nature, as long as theirs scottish people, iraq, and different religions








face it
I have a theory-people, especially men, eat way too much meat and don't have appropriate outlets for their stress. It is perpetuated by all of the violent T.V. and video games. If people ate a more balanced diet and could find ways to deal with stress that is healthy, then they would start to notice all of the beauty in the world, all of the positive reasons to live a peaceful life.
yes. when christ finally comes and takes control of all things. but as lond as there is islam, it will be impossible.
Think that the nature of all animals is fight, defeat others, but that it's an instinct.


The humans are thinking more than 50 years ago, so in a couple of centuries, the human will live in peace
