World Peace: Achievable and Inevitable

The December 6, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Do you believe world peace is achievable?

World peace is not only achievable,
It is inevitable.

The initial steps toward world peace were taken in the twentieth century. Even though we cannot see it, the movement toward world peace has picked up in the twenty-first century. The proof of this increase in momentum is the conflicts facing the world today. We, the human species, will survive these present conflicts and emerge from them into a peaceful world. As individuals we have a choice, we can either chose to impede the the progress of peace or we can chose to help accelerate its progress, but we cannot stop it.

Food for Thought: "The Great Peace towards which people of good will throughout the centuries have inclined their hearts, of which seers and poets for countless generations have expressed their vision, and for which from age to age the sacred scriptures of mankind have constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach of the nations. For the first time in history it is possible for everyone to view the entire planet, with all its myriad diversified peoples, in one perspective. World peace is not only possible but inevitable. It is the next stage in the evolution of this planet—in the words of one great thinker, “the planetization of mankind”." - from The Promise of World Peace
