I believe that human kind must evolve towards a globally peaceful stasis or perish. This is all part, I believe, of the overall evolution of our species. Homo Sapiens are so unique and advanced that we have litterally taken evolution to a whole different realm. Like it or not, we've taken over the entire planet and there's no turning back.
Early on in our evolution we learned clever new ways of killing. This served a purpose. It was very important at that time. As time went on, human culture advanced. Communication and scientific endeavous became more and more advanced. Societies became more evolved. Empathy and social consciousness became everyday realities. The only problem is that our ability to kill also blossemed exponentially. We have come to a tipping point, I believe, on this island called earth, where we can either take one fork in the road or the other. Down one path leads us to take all of our knowledge, communition skills, resources, and empathy skills and begin healing the relationships we have with each other and the planet. If we as a species can do this and put war, greed, and a lust for carnage behind us, we will usher in a whole new realm of existance. It can be done. It must be done. It has come to the point that this vision can no longer afford to be the stuff of dreamy eyed intellectuals and hippies. It has come to the point where it is very pragmatic. Either we evolve towards peace (soon) or we will end up killing off our own species(that includes you and I). Peace has become the only pragmatic path for the future. There is no other logical direction.
