About The Story of Us With Morgan Freeman:
From the award-winning team behind The Story of God with Morgan Freeman comes the new six-part series, The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman. At a time when events seem to be driving cultures apart and splintering our own, Morgan Freeman goes on a global journey to understand how human culture has taken so many remarkable forms. At the root of his quest is a drive to uncover the fundamental forces that keep our societies together, while revealing the common humanity that lies inside each one of us. Vast in his scope of inquiry yet with an intimate approach to each subject, Freeman meets people from all over the globe to explore the strength of belief, the thirst for power, how love shapes us, the role conflict plays in our lives, the spirit of rebellion and the concept of freedom.

Peace first begins with ourselves and understanding our own flaws and sins, what keeps peace from happening is ignorance and lack of understanding. When we first learn to accept our own vices and imperfections can we have the power to not only forgive others but ourselves. Peace is always possible , trust not what you see but what you feel 💛💛💛

No, peace isn't possible because you can never eliminate desire. Desire is what causes conflicts, and you can't get rid of it, even if humans find a way to truly understand each other, it doesn't matter because humans will always want more, which leads to war and conflict. The best peace humanity could get would be a temporary one.

@radar0412 2 года назад

@@SierNotsruht Correct. The Desire to remain in Political Office is what causes War. That's why GW Bush lied and went to War with Iraq anyway. We need to eliminate the desire to be reelected over and over again with either term limits, or have a Government of Common Citizens.

It’s possible to have World peace but it’s extremely difficult and everyone and everything needs to make it possible to happen. First you need to deal with people rights on a global scale. Such as rights to education,shelter,food including drinks, hygiene facilities and healthcare. Once this is sorted across every single Country can then move on to sort other issues out eventually every issue would be sorted out.

@vinsarrow 6 лет назад

Not Really.... Why? Because we all have different views of what world peace is when you get into the details of it, which is 1 of the root problems that prevents peace. Every government supposedly wants the samething according to their official speeches, from North Korea to Russia to France to the USA, etc, they all say they want what's best for the people & that their view is the correct vision for humanity. Humans have been at war since practically the beginning of society & we still haven't figured out we should stop wars, we make war crimes but not war itself a crime. Even though everyone tries to say they hate war & would love world peace, they continue to go to war under 1 excuse or another. The very fact that the cold war was a thing speaks volumes, 2 sides had to debate rather or not it was worth their arguably petty differences to end humanity's future as a whole forever. Fortunately it didn't happen but 1 day a event such as WW3 could happen thus ending our future. Not to even mention the countless millions who died in WW1 & WW2 under their own causes. Until we see a change where it looks like world peace is possible, we'll see till then stereotypical world peace isn't realistic. The only thing that close is the fact we have many nations armed with nukes who prefer not to have a straight up war due to Mutually Assured Destruction. But with all that stated, I don't usually like stating my thoughts as it's borderline useless but this time i made an exception to provoke thought to this eternal discussion.

Second, social peace is impossible. Because not all social members are mindful. So there're still bad guys in the society. Bad guys potentially harm others. So in the social point of view, there is no peace.

The peace is only possible if we give up the feeling of getting revenge . But it would be very hard because we should understand the reason that is for what purpose is someone taking revenge. It may be because he was hurt by someone. But if one want peace he must compromise when someone hurt him and the person who is hurting should also understand the feeling of other but it would really be a diffcult task because there are some people who hurt others for fun. "And by hurting , It may be killing someone." This is my opinion about peace

@SierNotsruht 2 года назад

No, peace isn't possible no matter what. You think we can achieve peace if we understand each other, however, not understanding each other is not the reason for conflict, desire is. Humans will want more no matter how much they have now, this can't be changed because this is human nature. Temporary peace would be achieved through understanding, eventually humans will go back to conflict and war.

1. Reform the economic system into Resource-Based Economy. 2. Incentivize quality companionship, strong accountability, learning with understanding and good health more than competition & selfishness. 3. Understand and perceive the reality in a more holistic point-of-view, while using reductionism in a humble amount. 4. MASS FACILITIES FOR THE NATURAL & ORGANIC FORM OF "EPIGENETICS". This is crucial, hence the capitalized sentence.
