the idea of world peace is a myth, the world is not at peace, it never will be. nature is not at peace. the best we can do is attain a level of harmony. peace is a personal state. a man at peace can walk into a war zone without fear. for him the war zone is like two atoms colliding together, this is nature, when the lion devours the gazelle it is not peace neither is it malice, it is nature. for man to assume he can live with his fellow man without ever engaging in conflict is a stupid thing to claim and it's aspirants live in a hippie dreamland. giving obama the peace prize was another nobel mistake. those swedish / norwegians academics need to really look closer to home before judging outside their own boundaries. create peace in your own life, create it in your family and friends then your town, and country and when your country is at peace you may have some grounds to comment on another countries inadequacies. The only exceptions for this is if your harmony is threatened. they may as well give the peace prize to my cousin micheal who also dreams of a peaceful world.
