War is part of human nature. It has been with us ever since there have been humans and probably before. Our closest relative, the cimpanzee is a good indicator of our roots, it is also very violent and warlike. Humans will always wage war against each other. Let's just hope we don't end up killing the earth in the process.

yes.

humanity and all life on this planet sole purpose was to struggle and evolve through struggle where only the strong survive and pass on their traits.

I agree with this statement. Humanity will never completely get along whether we have religious, political, or moral differences, we will always fight over them. There is too much propiganda flying around, too many people trying to secure lives for themselves or their people for us to stop fighting entirely.

100% peace is not attainable, there are just too many differences people are willing to die over. And that isn't going to change. To put an end to war you will have to put an end to greed, and that just isn't going to happen, because we always want more than we have...

of course i agree. We need conflict. Not only are we constantly warring with ourselves over keeping the balance of our duality but need stuff to conquer and conflicts to learn and grow from. There will always be war because there are always going to be dick-heads in the world.

Yes, there will always be a power struggle. One person will always want to have it better than everyone else. I think that there can be and have been long periods of peace but they will always be temporary because one mentally inept person will demand more than his fair share of power.

and anyways words don't solve anything. Words give plans for action.

I do agree, and I wouldn't limit it to just mankind either. Territorial disputes aren't only commonly seen in humans. Conflict can, at times, be unavoidable and resolution is often unstable. It doesn't just stop. So in short there will be conflict with and without the aid of humans. (It's a necessary component for life on Earth.

Unless of course an alien species dominates Earth and has different instincts do to the fact it has a single undying leader with infinite and incontestable power.
