World Peace

We're living in the year 2008, meaning we're aware by now that it's not that simple for all of us to hold hands and sing, "Kumbaya" or something gay like that. So what's with everyone preaching about world peace? I mean, we can't even keep peace on our streets, in our homes, in our families, in our schools. And you expect us to get along with each other?
Divorce rates are 52%. We hear about people getting abused or murdered. We look at a person and think, "Oh, I'm not going to like that person." Sometimes, when we do get to know them, we see that we have different personalities that we just can't click with. People have long-term fights over small things that won't matter in the long run.
But this doesn't mean that all hope is lost. At least we're aware of the way we are. We're aware that we can be judgmental and unfair. Some of us do something about it; others ignore it, saying, "I won't be like that when I'm older." These people never change their ways when they're older.
So what I'm trying to say is that, and I hate to say it, world peace at the moment is almost impossible. It's going to be a long time before that happens.
