Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Peace to an extent is ideal!. Total peace would be giving up your right to let others know that you disagree!. And don't we all disagree with a majority of the people we know on some key issues!?
The issues you brought up are good examples: abortion, politics!.!.!. even religion!. All are what create the major disagreements in the world!.
I disagree with Inay!. War isn't caused by misunderstanding!. While that may be the case every once in awhile, war is caused mostly by the disagreements we come across!.
I mean, just look around you!. Look at the world events!. Religion causes so much friction as does race!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe there are different levels of peace!.!.!.!.!.I think you have to pick your battles!. I think the only peace you can have control over is your own!.!.!.!.battle when its battle time, but when its over let it go so you aren't constantly conflicted which steals your peace!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Peace among everyone will never happen because everyone has there own opinion if right or wrong they will voice it!. Some topics more passionate then others, depending on the person and the topic I guess!.

So I agree, I think peace can only be to an extent because of how passionate people can get about there opinions!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can have a different opinion then others and still feel in complete peace!.
If you are too much emotionally involved, take care that it is not also ego driven!. If that what you want to change or say is based on a truly "pure" intention, you will feel peace and still get your point across!.
If you feel anger, rage or over exited you mix something else into your intention!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a great 'thought provoking' question! Thank-you :D

I believe, in all relationships, we must have "clarity" to what is desired, on all sides!. We must all come to a concerted understanding, for all to be comfortable, hence; promoting "peace" for all practical purposes!.
How would we attain it otherwise!?
If we do not speak up, then we have only ourselves to blame for our dis-satisfaction with the end results!.
Where is there "peace" in this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Peace depends on you!You want to have it you get it!One can have peace in the middle of war,disagreements and such things!You just have to choose to have peace!Www@QuestionHome@Com

nope!.!.!.!.peace is understanding to each own!.!.!.!.there is a war because of misunderstanding!.!.!.!.greediness in power seek no understanding!.!.!.!.so if ever there is a peace!.!.!.!.every ones opinion matters!.!.!.!.!.so deal with it!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Having peace and holding on to personal opinion are not mutually exclusive!. If we only respect each other, keeping peace shouldn't be difficult!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Different thoughts can occur without interrupting
the state of serenity and tranquility of the meetings of the minds!. Opinions only become hostile and warlike when
the individuals whom personalize the thoughts have
developed pride & believe they have to defend and argue
their opinions to the world while refusing to accept the fact that one size does not fit all and that other people have varying degrees of ideologies and methodologies!.

Point #2: If world peace was to be achieved it would only be accomplished through a separate doctrine, not from any human psyche, which would be globally accepted as an
established belief(not opinion)!.!.that all are loyal and dedicated to in such a way that there would be no crimes,
wrong-doings, anger, hate, pride, evil, disrespectfulness, etc!.,!.

Final Point: Each individual can sustain peace in the midst of their own chaos; but everyone won't!.!.instead they choose to invade/trespass upon the rest of the world with their problems and quagmires!. If I'm having a bad day I simply
feel grateful because somewhere on this earth there are
many, many people having a far worse day!. My peace comes in knowing that things can always be worse; and
things don't get too much better than the elements will allow!.
Many people's hopes are far too unrealistic!.
Thanks, for the remarkable question!

Disagree!.Peace can be complete!.

I would say, peace is living in Harmony with each other, meaning,its living or abiding with the rules of law that have been drawn for the society members to follow!.So if all members of that a particular society where following the rules, then there would be no knocking of heads, because every body has one goal in mind, to maintain the peace that they have!.

i would also say that, a peaceful society don't necessarily have to oppress its people /members in away that their opinions are not hard, in this way, there would be no way of maintaining peace they actually have at hand!.
so to me, i think its just a matter of understand what is expected of you and behave responsibly, ofcourse its easier if all members all see peace as a common goal!.

There are societies, especially in the remote areas, that are living peace full lives!.Especially in India around the foots of Himalayan mountains!.
Peace is quit impossible in urban areas due to high standards of living and high unemployment!.Thanks for asking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
