If the bible story of Babylon is true, then God changed the language and cultures of all people and sent them into the world. Fast forward to today and your article and comments, it seems as though mankind may have been set up to fail from that point forward - even to self destruct.

Humans all have diffrent perceptions on what is right and what is wrong, who is right and who is wrong. hmmmm… let me rephrase that.

There's always room for different schools of thought. I don't really think the problem is that we're so different, but that we act so unconsciously. We're usually unaware of why we do what we do and what effect it's likely to have. I wouldn’t go quite that far. There’s always room for different schools of thought.

The roots of world peace lie in practical issues: ...the quality of social relations in a society is built on material foundations... As long as "we, the people" continue to accept our status as wage earning latter-day slaves, we will continue to fight among ourselves and sanction our governments to fight other tribes who "threaten our way of life". What can we do? I do not know, but it is *not* "nothing". You say, and i agree: “…we’re really getting ahead of ourselves and missing smaller, less idealistic opportunities for peace…”

The striving in that direction (whether or not total worldwide peace is achieved) changes countless lives affected by war and violence AND inescapably, one's own inner programming. In a sense, what we do changes us just as the changes we make in ourselves affects what we do. To me, world peace is not so much a goal as a direction, like on a compass.
