Don't be a hater~

No. I do not believe world peace is attainable. There will always be some Dick or Jane or Stalin or Hitler hell-bent on molding the world in their image. And there will always be people so lost and confused and seeking some semblance of normalcy or balance in their lives, that they will follow these narcissistic and charismatic characters until the bitter end. It is the way of history, and history always repeats itself in a never-ending cycle. Perhaps not in such obvious ways nowadays, but, we still have dictators, tyrannical forces set to oppress the masses and rise above the rubble and ash to claim their victory, whatever it is they so desperately seek--money, power, the approval of others, perhaps the attention of a man or woman? There are many reasons why wars have been fought and senseless massacres have happened.

The Hippies were such a regime. While they pale in comparison to Hitler's Nazi Party, obviously they wanted to shape the world. They desired peace. But, they wanted peace by their standards, to happen on their terms. To have true peace, we all must ignore the racial boundaries, the stereotypes, everything that causes a disconnect between all of us as human beings and work together for a brighter future.

It sounds beautiful, does it not? Unfortunately, it is not possible. Our society is not evolved enough. We still have much to learn.
