World Peace Is Possible

The following is the product of an inspired exchange between a respected friend and myself on The Facebook. I wanted to post it here for posterity's sake.

Friend:
Because we are humans, we will always fight. There will never be world peace, it's a joke. There are just to many people out there that stand in the name of hate.

Me:
Within the scope of humanity in its present state, you are probably correct. However, I refuse to believe world peace is out of reach - and I certainly don't think it's
a joke.

All our species needs to do is eliminate need. If there's nothing to
fight over, there's nothing over which to fight.

This is a high-minded ideal, but the spirit of humanity holds UNLIMITED potential.

Just because some men believed they couldn't fly didn't stop others from
doing so. World peace is possible.

Just because the Church taught that the Earth was flat didn't make it so. World peace is possible.

Those who believe it can't be done shouldn't stand in the way of those doing it.

"You can do anything you set your mind to." This isn't some quaint bullshit society sells the young. It's Truth, although as we grow older we tend to discount it and limit the scope of it.

I Am That I Am can do anything. Any Thing. The possiblities are literally endless. Faith and imagination are our tools. We are limited only by what we believe is possible and what we can imagine.
