    Can humans love peace? Not just that there are endless wars going on, but you can see personal wars around you every day. How much do you see those people who are pure kind and only want everyone to be happy? And how much do you see those people who are mean, insult others and laugh at others? Who find satisfaction from making others feel bad? Someone can say that doesn't matter, but that's where some wars begin. From our own human personality, incapability to love peace.

    if peace-loving is a mental illness, then what is greed for power, money and dominance?
    dont even dare to think peace loving is abnormal
    yes there are more mean ppl
    but...it's their choice
    and we can smtimes change this by our own example

    one could easily say that it is in human nature to be mean and start wars and blah blah blah, it is human survival...you can stretch it..but really you can stretch anything and throw enough bullshit behind a theory and make it work
    i really need to stop hanging out with my friend dan...he's very cynical and apparently turning me..ha :D

    Of course it's not a mental illness. Giving in to your emotions (especially the negative), cravings and longings is the easiest way to live. That's why a lot of people do not live like they love peace and love. But all people do love it, and need it. A lot just settle with less, or with a lame substitute like power, wealth and luxury and think that's how to get it (or something, I don't know what they think really :) ).
