Is our current era of peace coming to an end?
Despite what many people will say, the world is basically more peaceful than ever. A few relatively minor local wars, but nothing major. I can't help but feel like this has to come to an end at some point though.

I certainly hope not, nothing good comes from frivolous wars.

It's peaceful on the outside because nowadays you get fined & cancelled for everything.
On the inside there's too much hatred and we are no where near "civilized" as we appear to be.
People are only quiet because it's forced upon us, nothing in nature will ever be peaceful, especially when there are things such as ranks, money, social status, always forcing your beliefs upon others we always fight to be on top, people compete. That's what we do.
And equality wouldn't solve much and is a pretty weak argument.
Making everyone equal is similar to cloning, emotions such as greed, jealousy, judgement, ambition is what makes us human. Take those egocentric emotions away and we are just a piece of soulless meat.

Don't worry some war will come and ruin everything.

there never was peace just less war
Thus is the price of audacity of some burgeoning empires: there shall be no guarantee of peace as long as there is an overly ambitious goon somewhere in the world. :cozyjunimogreen:

If you're thinking about a wold war 3, I mean just don't, I'm sure it will never happen.
And since a child, I got a trauma about those loud wars so I cannot sleep troughout the night...

The world is constantly at war. Your personal experience has no value in a forum that is open to anyone with internet access.

It's been a while since we had a "World War", but that's a pretty pointless standard when people are having their neighbourhoods leveled by carpet bombings, and all the rest.

If you're jonesing for some unrest, why not try leaving your small town instead of wishing for death and violence? Go in any direction, no matter where you are right now, and it's only a matter of time before you find more horrors and trauma than you can handle.

Even in my corner of the world, I feel like something has to happen eventually. Not to imply that I want it, but it feels like we are overdue for a war of some sort in North America.

When man loses the fear of the nuclear spark, it will return again, bigger and badder than ever before. And when man goes to space, it will follow. For war is a part of most every creature of earth, and man is no exception.

There is definitely a morbid part of me that wants to see war, but I know that I would probably soon come to appreciate how peaceful things are now if I actually did witness such horrors.

Only civil wars, attacks here and there, and conflicts on the way. Just like now. Nobody is really crazy enough to start a full-scale world war.

Unless they want Mad Max on their ass, that is.

Is it?... where is it "peaceful"?

The mask is just coming off... people are just now noticing there was never really any "peace"
