What would you sacrifice for world peace?

Saying that world peace would solve everything?

Well… Yes. Everyone in the world would get along and be happy. The economy would be peaceful and not a huge mess… Everything would be… well, at peace.

My life, if it could somehow be guaranteed.

World peace for how long a period? Because with each new generation, there would emanate a whole new set of problems destroying the quota of world peace established by the sacrifices we hypothetically made. And if you had a bunch of people living in this world extremely unhappy because they’ve had to give up the things/people/experiences they love the most, the “peace“concept sadly enough wouldn’t last very long. If everyone could just make peace in his or her own life, it’s likely that tranquility and happiness would become a universal pandemic.

Until the end of time. And just you, as an individual. This is a very hypothetical question.

Quite an intriguing question, krose, and not a very easy one to answer either. Way to get us thinking on Fluther. :o)

I think the hard part might be expecting to have to give up anything up in the first place to achieve something as important as world peace. This is, of course, reliant on the idea that people believe peace can come about through civility and cooperation and understanding between common men without the obligation of serious sacrifices. In today’s day and age, that is probably a pipe dream but I wish it could be that way.

I agree with MontyZuma.

There is no possible way to keep world a peaceful place for more than a few days. It’s human nature to be big meanies. Thus if one were to make an ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to make earth a peaceful place. they would have a high school named after them, be remembered as a true hero for a week then someone will start an argument about which country claims right to this fantastic person and a war will eventually break out.

weed.

Does world peace apply to everyone and every personality?

I agree with MontyZuma too. Cool name too.

@ as deep as a teaspoon- Ugh. Quit asking questions. Just answer. :-p The conditions are as such: Everyone would get along and there would be no major problems in the world. There would still be baby mama drama and highschool heart breaks. But no one is starving and there are no genocides no fights trying to prove who’s relgion is right… Every big issue is at peace. Everyone accepts everyone for who they are…and all the bad people with bad intentions just magically disappear.

I’m with Monty…if it meant my children and their children, etc. would live in a peaceful world – forever, and guaranteed – I’d die for that.

More details krose!!!! We won’t lie down on the tracks until we get all the points of negotiation settled! jk

See giving my life is too easy of an answer for me. That was actually the first thing I thought, but then I was like “Really though, that’s not giving up much.” I mean, yeah I give up my whole life ahead of me, but I wouldn’t feel the sacrifice. It would hurt my family more than it would me. I would give my own life up in a heartbeat for world peace, but I don’t think I could give up another persons. Does that make sense?

I feel like giving up my life would be a huge sacrifice. I have 3 children, 14 years old and younger. I would be incredibly sad not to see them grow up. It would be a greater sacrifice for them, probably, and causing them pain would bring me unbearable pain…but it would be for their benefit in the end.

Yes I get that. My son is the first thing I worry about when I think about death. I said it would be a huge sacrifice to give up the life ahead of me, but I wouldn’t know the difference. I’d be dead. I don’t really know how to explain it… For me giving my own life is almost selfish… in a really not selfish way. ????

72 virgins.

If it meant an end to war, I would give my life…but I am very old, sick and tired…not that much of a sacrifice.

easy. I would give my life or all of my happiness for world peace. Cmon, one person to suffer or die so that the entire world could
Live in peace? I’m down, sign me up.

Geroge W Bush

Oh I didn’t know we could sacrifice someone else! Then I’m down for Bush too. And let’s sacrifice him Aztec style.

I didn’t know either but I just try to squeeze him in!

My lucky Tinker Red Model F992 Swiss Army knife….......maybe.
